Se han desarrollo, hoy en día, miles de programas estrategicos para contener el aprendizaje y poder concretar objetivos; no obstante, no todos cuentan con las mismas capacidades, habilidades y facilidad para concretar logros de aprendizaje en esta modalidad y ello es lo preocupante, además de no acercarse abiertamente a la practica en campo. Soluciones que son una busqueda constante en esta generación.
Online learning is beneficial to those who work and it also teaches time management skills, becoming techologically inclined for all learning levels
There are different student profiles, that require adapting our teaching methodologies to their learning styles, and needs.
Getting to know each individual online learner is the door that opens many opportunities for rapport, self-efficacy, self-management, self-advocacy, research skills, writing skills, technological fluecy, and virtual collaborations. Without these essential qualities, online learners truncate their academic success.
I liked the way the information was broken down in these sections. It outlined the common compentencies that could and do help classify common online classroom issues. However, knowing these does more than just explain what the problem can be. If instructors/designers know these are common (especially if they recognize these issues occurring in their real classes), the competencies can be used to ask "what can I provide to help meet these competencies?"
Regardless if learners fit the typical demographic, there can still be additional resources provided to help meet the competencies needed as long as students are at the age to understand and make coherent choices. If students aren't communicating, or are showing issues in other competencies, instructors can provide feedback, optional additional resources, and incentives. It is the instructors job to create and facilitate an engaged, active learning environment. However, it is still the student's responsibility to take control of their learning by using the tools and information provided.
Technology has changed the way of education especially since COVID.
Comment on Jennifer Williams's post: I find that the adult learner finds more challenges learning online because many consider it to be "impersonal".
I really liked how the modules touched on how our frequency and quality of communication with our students impacts retention. The online student requires more constant communication. Some of the Challenges students face: self management (time to study), easiness of Google "research" on due papers and writing skills in addition to technological fluency for the adult learner.

I enjoyed learning more about how the type of student we're likely to see in college/undergraduate studies are older, have jobs, and may or may not have kids (80%). I also thought the information regarding how the pandemic has shifted the ways younger students might connect with online learning was interesting and a great reminder to stay abreast of the research to help better support our students.
I have learned that students learn in different ways. More and more students seem to choose online. I have learned, that there are many tool available to instructors and institutions to use, which will ensure student feel that they are getting the attention needed and a timely manner. Resolution to problems to prevent detrimental delay in learning or progress in this platform is very important.
The post pandemic online learner changed the game of how students learn and why they want to push forward with careers. Most according to the statistic are motivated by children or their dependents. I see a lot of this in the classroom. The next generation is waiting for a reason to push themselves forward.
I definitely feel that online teaching creates many challenges. The biggest challenge I face is student engagement. I try to require that cameras are on and include question and answer sessions but it seems to always be the same few students that paticipate.
Technology has changed the way curriculums are designed and the way in which educators teach and in which students learn. Online learning is not for all students, but may be used as a quick, efficient way to learn while working full time, seeking an advance, promotion, etc. so may not be engaged fully in what is required with online learning due to both internal and external motivators or barriers. Plagiarism is an issue that constantly arises for me in online courses even with the Turnitin program as students 'copy' more than in prior years so educating on research and proper citation is imperative with all level of students.
": Self-advocacy is the ability to assert oneself or ask for help. In online classrooms, instructors cannot see a confused look on a student’s face. Online students must take the initiative to ask for help before problems become emergencies. "
Reply to Todd Grzech's post: I enjoyed reading your post and have experienced similar things.
In this unit, I learned a lot about self-management, self-advocacy, and technology fluency. As an educator, I come across lots of these areas that need development. Online learning provides growth in all of these areas.
Online learning isn't for everyone. Students are lacking in what their strengths and weaknesses are and then taking an online class. Many are not participating, thinking the classes are easier or not much work. Even if a syllabus, class schedule and video have been posted about this topic.
We cannot leave technology out, it is not moving closer or further away, that is why it is very important to know how to dose it and, above all, to know how to use the best tools and that our students have them to
Es sorprendente el crecimiento que la educación en línea a tenido, siendo definitivamente un factor decisivo el tema la pandemia y como lo describe el curso la educación en línea obligó a las instituciones a implementar una infraestructura remota para aumentar sus ofertas de cursos híbridos y en línea
