Online students can be successful when they organize how they intend to learn and use time management wisely. Procrastinated can lead to a student becoming overwhelmed and discouraged. It can impact on how much a student may retain.
Online learning may be seem simple and free to new students; but planning your academic time is important. Setting rules for yourself and setting a personal outline for oneself is important such as the 7 principles of learning.
Encouraging students thru tools we have in online courses help student to their goals.
We need to students to both feel that they can learn at their own pace as well as instill that they work at the pace we know is needed for a successful outcome in the course.
Incorporating several approaches into the online learning environment will allow students to thrive. making sure everyone can use the online tools, that students feel a part of the process, and the teacher is always monitoring usage of time and student participation. All of these are a recipe for success.
Some students do well with learning at their own pace, others need more guidance. It is important to find a happy medium.
It is imperative that students be realistic about online learning and avoid procrastination and other bad habits that will ultimately derail their success
I learned the term netiquette in this module. Teaching students to have professionalism on and off the internet is important. Maintaining respect by not replying to discussion posts in a reactive way, but in a constructive and controlled way.
Trying to set students up for success.
-Help them develop good study habits
-Being aware of distractions
-7 learning principals was helpful
It is a good thing and bad thing to give students the opportunity to work independently
Online learning can be successful if students and instructors are working together. Students need to communicate their needs or questions and instructors needs to respond in a timely manner. Students need to understand their roadblocks, such as time management or schedule while instructors need to respect the time students have available.
Successful online learning techniques includes the seven principles stated in the module: Encourage contact with instructor and students, Develop reciprocity & cooperation, Encourage active learning, Give prompt feedback, Discuss the appropriate "time on task," Promote high expectations, and Encourage respect for all individuals.
Emphasize the importance of being prepared for learning. Allow adequate time to study and review. Prepare the students to organize and time management to succeed.
I appreciate the idea of finding ways to get students to think about what might be stopping them from achieving their goals as well as what they can do better to help them achieve those goals. End-of-unit surveys would be great places for this sort of introspection and intervention.
When establishing a goal, make sure that the goal is detailed, measurable and realistic and achievable through measurable steps. Teach Netiquette to your students!
Guidelines from the student’s perspective and the guidelines for a online instructor is what i took away from this module.
this is a great list of dos for teaching, stating expectations, recognizing differences, being proactive and timely, are all helpful theories for teaching, also establishing roles for both the teacher and students with the same principles sets the class up for success.
Remembering the 7 principles of learning is essential in online success. It helps maintain good communication and remind everyone to be respectful to one another.
I think goal setting is so important!
Principles of learning and student goals are intertwined
Teachers and students together need to make the effort to have success. These principles lay out the foundation for the course. Also keeping in mind that there is a professionalism called Netiquette "Respect", so each student understands common courtesy and behavior in the online environment. Another very important skill is time management and avoiding the pitfalls that students have over time.
