Teachers are given a common goal (something specific they need to teach), but we all teach in different ways.
I have found that online learning can be overwhelming to do well
Conducting classes online/virtually is different than in person. As an instructor I must learn to adapt and be able to guide my students.
It is imperative to understand how to navigate the CMS in its entirety. Ensuring a thorough orientation for the student with the CMS will assist the student to work confidently and more efficiently while reducing unnecessary calls and emails to instructors and IT departments.
Good course delivery formats should leverage multimedia. This also means that instructions must ensure that all students have access to the materials and are not locked out due to hardware restrictions or not understanding how to navigate the CMS. Instructors must be able to understand and use CMS functions such as learner rosters, post announcements, discussions, and moderate chatrooms.
Make sure I learn how the navigate the system before making assignments for the students. Students might have some challenges using an online platform but tec\acher should make sure they understand how to navigate system. A CMS allows teachers to organize groups and group chats for assignments, develop course roster and input course grades.
I will make sure to review all content of the Module so I can easily and expertly answer my students questions about the course
I have been taking online classes before, so I am familiar with the structure of an online course from the student perspective. I found this module very interesting, I learned that there are many aspects that an online instructor have to have in consideration such as provide resources for technical support, and be aware of the student's needs and strengths in technology.
It's extremely important that you know how to navigate through the CMS entirely. Your students depend on you! You want to be able to assist them whenever they have an issue. You also want to make sure there is plenty of communication so that students know what to expect.
to be familiar with online CMS and be able to navigate through course effiectivly
In order to be successful with e-learning an instructor must be familiar with the platform in which they are using. Instructors should provide instruction and technical support. In addition, it its important to be family with techniques and stategies. The module and lessson framework seems to be most beneficial to students for easy navigation.
I have learned that if the instructor is confident in helping the student whether it be with course work or navigating the course the students are more at ease with online learning.
That this program will require even more one on one instruction in order for my ESL and ABE learners to navigate using a web based program instructed format. I'm hopefully that it will be an easy challenge for them to navigate and get used to in order to help further their education.
The role of support, especially technical support, is of special importance in an online environment. Students come from variety of backgrounds. This diversity requires that online teaching/learning environments be provided with appropriate and easily accessible technical support to prevent unnecessary learner frustration
The Course Management System need an underlying framework or structure that is easy to navigate. Student must be able to access help easily from the teacher and from technical support. While a CMS may provlde the basic structure, teachers/instructors may use the basic CMS in different ways.
Need' to be in other languages.
I think everything that has been presented sof far is very important with instructing online. If you are confident in yourself with instructing online and know what you are doing it shows to the students and in turn makes them more comfortable about learning through an online course. It gives them a sense of security that that they have someone that is there for them to teach them and answer their questions.
In order for me to be a successful on-line instructor I must set guideline, expe and structure for my students using our current CMS system. I feel that I need to make sure that I give multiple options for my students to reach me with questions or concerns. I did set-up each class with the remind App to communicate with them. Besides email, and updates through the CMS the remind app is a quick way to let a class or all of your classes know of important updates, due dates, etc.
Teachers need to know how to use the sysstem themselves.
I have learned that I have allot to learn but with training online instruction can be a positive leaning experience.
