It is important to be very familiar with the CMS so that content can be delivered and accessed in a meaningful way.
One need to have a full understanding of the course and it's content. Be able to effectively deliver the content to the students for success.
As an instructor for online learning, it is important to know how to use all of the functions that the students view, to be able to help them. The biggest thing to help students on an online platform is to know that someone is willing to work with them and the support. Then students will be more open to the online learning.
On a personal note, I find it hard for students to take a class and not have a specific teacher or an email where they can get support on the topic and parts of the platform for help. This can be frustrating for the students and then not want to learn on an online environment.
I've learned it's important as instructor to make sure we have access and knowledge of resources to be able to assist our students. If we can not answer our students we need to be able to point them in the right direction as to where they can find the answer.
Before you can expect your students to do something you must do. Don't have the say as I do mentality but the do as I do. To be a good leader you have to be a good follower.
Finding out what are the needs of my students during the e-learning process first. Then teach the subject after the needs are met or have been addressed.
Organization and great planning upfront is essential. I really need to plan the entire semester on paper before I ever get started. I think this is a very doable goal, having used Canvas extensively in my courses before and especially during these past nine weeks of school.
I consider myself a pretty organized person, so it'll just take some effort this summer getting ready for this new adventure.
Students' success if every instructor's goal. Both, the students and the insturctor need to feel comfortable with the content and the delivery of the course. The instructor also needs to have the support of IT. This part of the course outlines the multiple forms of communication forms available for the teachers and the students.
Most important is that the student doesnt get discouraged... and that i can help them in anyway
I have learned how to help students Understand the on line class with communicatrion between the student and instructor so they understand the information that they will be given.
Delivering online content requires a much different level of understanding and organization.
Just putting assignments out there for the students is not nearly enough. They must be provided with continuous instructional and technical support. Feedback is extremely important for their success.
I need to not only become familiar with CMS, knowing that knowledge alone of courses will not suffice in keeping students captured, interested, and participating. I must extend my knowledge of tools available for tracking individual students and making sure they too understand every tool to keep them engaged. Making sure they have excellent foundation of orientation of all material to technical support.
what I have learned form this module that e-learning is a very rewarding and effective method of distant learning if the teacher lderan hhis or her role in delivery the teacher/learning strategies, then the students can be succesful within the educational system. the e- learning system allows students to work at their own pace, and it allows for students to have their own private tutor with a never closed technical support!
From this section I learned that it is important to have content knowledge and be able to structure teaching techniques to learning opportunities that fit into the course management system you utilize. The course management system acts as the center of information for teachers and students to facilitate online learning. Teachers have many variables to consider and plan for in how they set up their curriculum for students to access learning virtually.
I have gained information to enhance my skills as an online instructor to include course delivery, projecting my presence, engaging my students and managing the E-Learning environment. I plan to present quality online engaging information and meaningful learning activities for the best outcome. My students will be more secure and comfortable knowing that I will support them with online instruction and technical support.
I learned that body language has the highest percentage in communication. But the tone of voice in a call is very important. Apply it in my work would be on the phone and try not to look like a premade script.
It is critical that i become familiar with the content. I need to make sure to refreash myself on topics where my knowledge is lasking. I discovered how important it is to have a solid orientation that will aid student in the management of their course materials.
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it.
Like any online course, I want to know how to manage the system. I've learned that the techer has full control of the learning enviroment and that proper software will guide you through successful steps for student interaction and learning. The teacher must know how the system works before engaging stidents.
