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.
I hadn't used the 7 Principles for Learning since grad school -- I most appreciated your depiction of this from both the instructor's and the student's perspective.
Explain the use of time in context with course content and this will help students with time management.
The Seven Principles of Learning is a useful framework for understanding how best to lead and coach students for success in the online learning environment. Emphasizing the importance of time allocation and management is also key to students' ability to learn and accomplish coursework in a timely manner.
Allowing students to work at their own pace can be both good and bad
Time management is an important skill when dealing with the online learning space. It is helpful for an instructor to provide "tips and tricks" for keeping up with the work load and successfully navigating the assignment schedule.
I like the idea of providing students with roles in the online environment such as a leader, facilitator, recorder, and reporter. I believe to some degree it could also be helpful in a synchronous environment with a little creativity.
The 7 principles were really eye-opening
Guide the learners that are new to on line learning to secure retention and success. Gauge their skills so as not to have them overestimate their technology skills and procrastinate turning in the assignment. Only to find out the work was not completed because it was too much work and enough time was planned to complete the assignment correctly.
Communication and the seven principles of learning.
Empathy for students who struggle online is an asset for any instructor. I have constructed courses for online learners. I never considered that students might have difficulty working in this format.
The 7 Principles of Learning is my biggest take-away. In my setting faculty is comprised of professionals that have become educators, not professional educators. I can tie the 7 Principles to policy related to online course facilitation & student interaction as I create/redesign faculty onboarding.
A lot of the advice and guidance harkens back to lessons learned in the previous century... was 1996 really that long ago? The "think before you speak" reminds me of advice from my father, along with the "communicate with control" i.e., don't let your emotions run rampant (reel it in) and make every effort to be courteous -- this netiquette reminder is a good way to start the class, and to refresh if students lose sight of the community spirit.
I plan to copy the RESPECT model for netiquette into my current online classes.
students can fall into many pitfalls when it comes to online learning and one of those would be procrastination and not realizing how much time is involved with an online class. I will help provide the students with guidelines to keep them on tract.
I really like the RESPECT idea for online communication. Clear and to the point.
It is important to respoect and take into account different ways/styles of learning
Understanding the 7 principles of learning is a great foundation for online classroom environment.
