What has anyone found to be the stuggle that most students have with oneline learning?

I am new to teaching HS and teach Welding. I have been in the industry for 40 years but have so much to learn about teaching. Any comments are welcome. 

I am trying to decide between using/purchasing existing content from a book publisher or creating some of my own. I have had students tell me that they prefer hearing/seeing me as opposed to some of the "machine voice" content that is out there. 

One of the publishers packages does allow for quite a bit of additional information to be added and that is what I am learning towards. That same publisher makes their content available as LTI which can allow it to be a part of what I am teaching as opposed to me being a part of what "they" are teaching. 

I have been playing with various tools both paid and unpaid for adding interaction to existing videos or creating various presentations as HTML5/SCORM. That has me wanting to create my own too.

I will probably do both if we can purchase the seats but would love to hear others thoughts. 

What current and useful tech tools exist for designing math classes, math problems, and math assessments?

I find it very difficult to come up with several individual responses to the same discussion topic question.  Does anyone else have this dilemma?

Just curious how others address this issue.

I am trying to find a good way of pausing at key points in a long demo that is teaching how to accomplish something that is very technical and specific, and get them engaged in a small problem that relates to what i am teaching but doesn't pull their focus from the demo itself. It is very hard to come up with something that reinforces what we just did without becoming a distraction or interruption. 

Cheers!

Hello, my name is Dr. Sherry Roper and I will be the course facilitator for this class. I have been in nursing education for 20+ plus years.  I have a Ph.D. from the University of TN and my MS is from Penn State. My favorite subject to teach is epidemiology.  On a personal note I am married (28 years) with 3 grown children and 2 grandchildren (a third on the way).  For fun, I enjoy hiking, bike riding, and camping.

Now that you have learned a little about me please take a few moments to tell me about you.

Welcome.

Dr Roper

Does any instructor know of a free audio program that reads to the student?

I am planning to visit Turkey next summer. Does anybody know about Turkey's history?

I always wonder if students think a teacher who is stepping back from actively teaching (i.e., lecture) is doing nothing for them and expects them to figure out the class for themselves. I could see students feeling like that's not what they paid for, or that the instructor is lazy. Have you ever encountered this and, if so, how did you handle it?

I have seen and participated in asynchronous discussions in LMS programs such as Blackboard.  I liked the fact that it was structured for each student to have a post, and that students could reply with additional thoughts or ideas inside of those.  I had professors who even graded based on reply quantity and quality.

Does anyone have any suggestions for creating such a discussion board within Google Classroom, or in conjunction with Google Classroom?

how do I start the actual courses?

Students are always more involved with instruction when there is mutual respect between all parties.  Besides the whole class  relationship between teacher and class the individual relationships between students and students and teacher and students will initiate "true" learning.  As Pauolo Freire taught us long ago the "banking method of education" teachers nothing. To have any critical thinking among all parties their must be an understanding of equality and respect.

This topic has a ton of great information pertaining to teaching online courses. I found this lesson to be awesome.

How do we address excessive poor behavior? at what point is 'too much'?

I need help your help . the web side would not let me retake the final test for EL103 again .

thanks

Suprised how much I already know

The Course Structure, Guidelines,  and Course Requirements depend on my expertise in organizational skills.  The Course Learning Objectives are mightily dependent on me- managing learners, projecting my authority and presence in the e-learning environment, build a relationship with each learner, projecting my authority and presence in the e-learning environment, build a relationship with each learner, manage communication, provide help with technical issues.

is it me or anyone else find this stuff a little complicate. 

There are many tasks and support that will be on us as instructors.
