This course helped me identify areas where I could improve on as far as online learning is concerned. Providing more technical support to students is a great way to improve this.
Search out the students who are not engaging and focus on helping them gain courage.
To improve motivational engagement, I plan to add real-life examples and give students more choice in how they complete assignments, which can help them feel more connected to the material. I’ll also start a simple weekly check-in to offer support and encouragement, which I can do on my own without needing administrative help.
Comment on Demetrio Balaguer's post: Te felicito Demetrio tus aporte son valiosos, y la reflexión sobre el profundizar en la motivación es genial. Hay investigaciones educativas sobre el saboreo, que es el disfrutar de aprender educacionalmente. Y hay instrumentos para medirlos sean de tipo encuesta validadas, sería excelente realizar investigaciones con este indicador de aprendizaje en estudiantes adultos.
Gracias por compartir.
Comment on Chris Willis's post: Qué importante el aporte pedagógico de la fragmentación, para aprender significativamente. Felicitaciones todos aprendemos siempre de esta manera y evitamos el ver un contenido muy denso, que puede quitarnos el interés en desarrollar la temática.
Muy buenas tardes a todos y todas, que aprendí....la comunicación efectiva al inicio del curso y es bidireccional, docente-estudiante y estudiante - estudiante, cuanto más temprano mejor, con vinculación en las redes sociales tipo facebook.com o hacer grupos de trabajo en el aprendizaje en whatssapp.com.
Los estudiantes que tenemos son adultos responsables, con diferentes actividades y convivencias socioculturales, de manera que puedo establecer diálogos con ellos con flexibilidad para diseñar oportunamente los instructivos de las tareas o exámenes con tiempo para evitar frustraciones o deserciones porque no he logrado despertar su motivación intrínseca.
Tengo mucho que aprender y compartir, gracias por el desarrollo de este curso.
It was very encouraging to read this section because it seems like my courses have done a good job of weaving these principles into them.
Social engagement and motivational engagement dependent on each other to facilitate optimal learning functioning.

Engage everyone of all age groups and make sure they are all comfortable with the platform.
I think it's important to keep the students interested and engaged, especially in on-line classes.
It's important to engage all learners and use interactive simulations and social media to switch up the different ways of participation.
I think it is an excellent course, since it invites you to go a little outside the box as they say, because although students must be responsible, I believe and I am sure that through proper motivation, they can participate and get involved much more.
I have learned that communication needs to start early, and be ongoing for student success.
Engaging online learners is necessary in virtual courses. Planning for all learners is essential. Considering learning modalities will help instructors reach all learners.
I have learned that I need to find my learners where they are and create learning activities that will engage all, not just some of my learners. Some can learn from just written materials, but I need to create different opportunities for different types of learners to be successful.
The need to engage students in different mediums so that you can help the learner where they are in their educational journey. Not everyone can learn at the same pace or using the same materials, so we need to create different opportunities for different types of learners.
Student engagement is essential. Motivational and social engagement are key factors in any classroom environment. Some supportive concepts mentioned include the significance of feedback, student outreach, building a strong rapport, and utilizing strategic opportunities that encourage student engagement.
I learned that it is very important to maintain students' engagement through various methods: activities, study groups, and even games.
This course opened my eyes to the various ways we can engage the online learner. I am particularly intrigued by "content chunking" because I notice many of my adult learners go about their studies in this way. I now realized that engaging the online learner goes beyond the virtual classroom and early engagement increase chances of course success.
