The online learning environment is new for me, so this training was very helpful. I was a hybrid student for many years myself, so I can see how these tips were useful for me as a student. I feel this insight can help me in the areas I can improve on in this environment.
I do well is in the areas of social engagement to include making introductions and setting a tone in my classroom. It's very important to set the students up for success by setting the expectations of the course and creating a safe space environment. Where I can improve in the area of social engagement is by better familiarizing myself with other admin resources. Staying up to date on available resources and having that rapport with admin can better assist students.
I probably do best in motivational engagement because I am such a animated person that like to keep students in their toes. This online environment will prove a new challenge for me, but I like how the training provided more tips and ideas. I usually provide a lot of feedback throughout my lectures because it helps check for understanding and allows students to know how they are doing. Content chucking and leveraging technology is something that I am looking forward to utilizing more because of the hybrid structure of the program. I can certainly improve in those areas as I haven't used them as much in my previous instructing.
