A happy Wednesday, everyone. What I learned significantly in this module is how to avoid the mistake of procrastination among students. With communication and time management strategies, we can motivate students not to procrastinate on their homework in their online classes. Online instructors must be attentive and take the initiative to create an active environment in our virtual classrooms.

From this module, I have learned that successful online learning requires clear communication, active engagement strategies, and consistent feedback to keep learners motivated and on track. I intend to apply this by incorporating interactive elements such as weekly discussion prompts and timely feedback.

I learned the 7 principles of learning are essential for learning. Every student has separate needs, knowledge and talents. Each individual should be able to openly express their knowledge in an appropriate way. 

I learned that good communication, time management, and active participation are key for online learning. I will help my students use these techniques and guide them to stay organized and involved during the course.

In this section, I learned about the seven principles of practice. I confirmed my thoughts of students should be able to learn at their own pace but have guidelines on submissions and deliverables to keep the student engaged. 

Students should set clear goals and take an active role in their learning. They are encouraged to engage with their peers and the instructor, demonstrate responsibility, and understand the expectations of the course. Additionally, students should embrace and respect the diversity present in the classroom.

Students learning at their own pace can be both a good thing and a bad thing. 

The 7 principles of good practice are very helpful

The 7 principles are very helpful in setting students up for success. Also making sure students understand netiquette.

The seven principles of good practice was great to learn. I can use these as a basis for my delivery of material.

The seven principles of good practice include: Encourage contact with the students and vice versa, develop reciprocity and cooperation among students, encourage active learning, provide prompt feedback, emphasize time on task, communicate high expectations, respect diverse talents and ways of learning.

Conventional learning techniques can be adjusted to still be useful in online learning forums in addition to the novel techniques available

One great misconception about online learning is that it will "fit into my schedule" and be "easy". In this case the student would not do well, as an online course  is partly the instructor, partly the student.

Students often underestimate their ability or capacity to participate and succeed at online coursework. They often mistakenly think online classes will be easy and fast. 

Take notes, watch videos and read the lecture. 

Students tend to juggle too many things at once, Examples being work, personal life, and multiple online classes. A common misconception is that online courses are quick, which leads to students not giving enough time to online courses. Netiquette is essential to using appropriate language and manners on the internet. 

Time management skills, self-motivation, and proper netiquette are crucial for students taking online courses. It is expected for students to prepare for 2-3 hours of study time for each course credit. It is ideal for students to understand what their goals are and how they relate to the content and their life, this will boost their confidence in learning the material as they self-reflect. 

The seven principles of learning are timeless.

Applying the 7 principals to online learners is very important, however, as instructors we must  do our part in making sure our students follow through. Online learner can benefit from making a schedule that they are comfortable with, this will give them time for their personal life and school life as well. It will not overwhelming or stressful. While students can benefit from finishing courses earlier, effectively planning and time management will ensure that students are not only ahead of the game but also understanding and learning the course materials.

Instructors should be a major part in assisting students with time management, encouraging early submissions just incase of an emergency, illness or whatever may arises that can cause interruption for deadlines.
