I learnt that student interraction and participation even in an an online environment should be encouraged and any questions immediately should be addressed.

This module reinforced the importance of promoting good online citizenship, effective communication, and active student engagement in the online learning environment. I learned that students benefit from clear expectations regarding academic honesty, professional communication, and respectful participation, while also developing strong reading, writing, and collaboration skills.+1
I plan to apply these concepts by clearly communicating expectations, encouraging meaningful participation, fostering a supportive learning community, and modeling clear, professional, and respectful communication. By doing so, I can help students feel more connected, engaged, and successful in their online learning experience
Online students need to be part of a community just like in-person students. I think it's important to try and encourage students to form study groups, to work together, and to ask questions. Give tips for things like reading skills and listening skills.
I find it odd that many online students who attend TEAMS/ZOOM meetings would rather put their comments in the chat box rather than simply speaking to their peers. It seems they do not understand how written communication can be difficult to decode without the tone of voice to help communicate their message.
I was reminded that written communication is even more important in an online course, because there is no face-to-face opportunity to make announcements or have discussion. Communication must be clear, complete, and concise.
Clear concise communication is very important in setting up your students for success
The importance of clear, concise, complete, timely and professional communication with your online students, developing the safe community for the students to operate within, preparing the students for success
Through this training, I gained a greater understanding of the importance of helping students develop traditional pen-and-paper skills in addition to what is done in the on-line setting. In today's technology-driven learning environment, fostering these foundational skills can be challenging as students often rely heavily on electronic devices for communication and learning. I also learned about the value of developing a Community of Practice, where students can engage with peers, share experiences, and learn collaboratively.
To prepare students to become good online learners, you should communicate often, create feedback and guide students with their responses. Thinking about creative ways to respond and talking back and forth as much as possible will help students with assignments, critical thinking skills, and time management.
Adult learners tend to learn better when they can readily apply their previous knowledge, skills, and experience. Communication is important when teaching online. This will help with any misunderstanding or questions.
Communication, both to and from the students, is required for a successful online course.
Providing clear and concise communication is essential to student success as it help students understand expectations and stay engaged in thier learning. When communication is timely, supportive and easy to understand, students feel more confident and empowered to achieve thier goals.
Communication is a priority in an online course
By preparing the students to be great online learners. Make sure expectations are understood.
I learned about the importance of clearly and frequently communicating with students helps them to feel more engaged with the course and the instructor.
I learned that successful online learners need skills like time management, communication, and self-motivation. I plan to help students build these skills by setting clear expectations and encouraging good study habits.
Students who do online work need to have essential skills in reading and writing more so than students who always have classes face-to-face. They need to have the skill sets to work independently. And, if not, the teacher needs to be aware of this so they can build structure into the courses to help make the students successful in the areas they might fall.
Providing clear and concise communication is essential to a student's success.
I was reminded of the importance of making each student feel included and part of the class. For this effective, on-going communication is needed.
