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.
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.
