Communication in an online course is almost more important than in a traditional classroom environment.
Love the fact of the discussion board, it is a way to collaborative communication if used correctly.
In this module I have learned that, as an instructor, it is important to model the types of communication that will be included in the online course. I will apply in my courses examples of such communication so that students understand what is expected of them.
Communication will always be the greatest tool that life gives us. The communication patterns presented are necessary and very well adapted to the diverse generational levels that we serve today.
In this module I learned the importance of establishing a Code of conduct to ensure the respect among all the participants.
Communication needs to be consistent and in a pattern. So that students learn your habits and expectations.
It is absolutely essential to establish and communicate the rules for appropriate communication between the instructor and student and between students. The syllabus and a FAQ discussion board are good places to do this. The instructor should model appropriate communication and closely monitor how students are communicating with each other and address any issues promptly.
As the instructor, I need to set the guidelines of effective communiation, let the students know what will or will not be acceptable. I must encourage participation in the discussion groups but also make sure they know that no response or responses not adding content to the discussion will result in a lower grade. Posting a rubric with these expectations will reinforce the expectation.
When using online platforms you want to be clear with what your expectations of students are. The Rubric is helpful and give a visual for responses for participation. Be transparent and provide your students with the tricks to being successful. This will help you be organized and develop an effective communication process. I like the FAQs tip and limiting traffic to email.
I learned the importance of establishing a communication code from the beginning of the course.
Code of conduct for communication can eliminate dissing others.
To maintain effective communication, it is necessary to define the means of communication and the tools available and above all the agreement between the students and the teacher. Establish clear guidelines.
It is interesting to measure the participation of the students, how frequent is the communication in the different means that have been agreed for communication: emails, wiki, blogs, forum. Observe that active communication between: I2S, S2I, S2S.
Initiate a communication code of conduct that is clear , concise , and encourages participation.
It is important to establish good patterns of communication to make the differences between formal an informal qriting, depending on the circumstances.
There are more than one pathways of comunication when we work establishing standards. I2S, S2I, S2S. Protocols for each.
Also the importance of including the protocol in the syllabus or a handbook. Consequences and disciplinary measures should be informed and expressed in a written form where the student confirms receipt.
Este tema es sumamente importante. La comunicación y el respeto tienen que ir de la mano para que el aprendizaje se dé de la forma más efectiva posible. Creo que el estudiante debe entender la importancia de la gramática en estos asuntos.
The instructor must be a clever and positive teacher od good manners about the communication skills with the students. So, is that the key for receive 100% of penty succesful.
Communication between the student and the teacher must be clear and organized. sThe content is presented with different strategies, then what is expected is explained and there always has to be feedback so that the guidelines are understood. We must always establish to optimize the participation between teacher and students and students and students,
because in pairs they learn better and the objectives set can be explained.
Every type ofcommunication with the student must be a effective and open one who provide the best results on every equation. An effective communication must be establish every time. In life there has to be rules and consequences as in every educatiional institution must have a code of conduct and the students must be open to follow thoose rules and to know what is the consequences of avoiding to follow them.
Communication is essential in the relation to your students.
