I have learned there are many ways to engage online learners. Many of the techniques are going to be different for every class and every type of online learners. I would need to learn each students pacific learning style and then I would then know what type of method to employ to assist those students.
Because of this module, I now understand the importance of creating alternative ways for the students to contact me. I also recognize the improtance of getting back to the students in a timely manner so that they feel invested in the course.
This was a great experience and I learned that students need motivation to be successful foo online courses. Students need various methods of directions for assignments and projects. These could be diagrahams of various styles, sample sheets, videos or other visual aides to assist all lerarning styles. Friendly reminders are very needful as many students lifestyles prohibit them from being successful because they forget the coursework. Therefore, the use of these aides and ideas will be implemented.
