I felt pretty identified with this module because I have had several noisy and disruptive students. Therefore, what I learned from this module was: 1. Set limits (communication via e-mail, list the topcs that may require the teachers response, answer in 24-hours), 2. Make an FAQ document, 3. Send personal emails to the noisy or disruptive ones; 4. Read carefully their bios and try to connect with some of their interests (this also is useful for quiet students).
I never thought about the fact that student personalities are just as varied online as they are in face-to-face settings. This basic information is very helpful!
I am finding that the newer versions of the learning managment systems are starting to include new and better facilities for managing student records. Integrated email and messaging, more capability to communicate on assignments through the gradebook and so on. These new tools are helping a lot.
Staying engaged can alert to changes in student behaviors and reveal diengagement. It is important to support the student in the virtual environemt to promote retention.
Communication is key. Quick and to the point communication will help stave off unnecessary issues.
Online teaching and learning, although its not a new concept it is the new normal. It does take a new level of maturity, commitment and responsibility for students to set their own pace and agenda. It comes down to scheduling and commitment to completing the work designed to accomplish fruition.
how to avoid ailienating studedents in the e-learning environment
I feel teaching online course is harder than in-person. We have to keep the students engaged in the content and be respectful to others in the virtual class. There is fewer discrutpion if teacher and students built a relationship. It's more challenging to build relationship in virtual class.
This was very helpful learning about students who may feel alienated while e-learning.
I learned that disrupters may be less disruptive in an asychronis learning environment, but I need to have strategies to deal with them nonetheless.
Staying organized is important! A good record-keeping strategy is necessary. Communicating with students is important but needs to be confidential and recorded/saved.
This was helpful in learning about the different forms of student behaviors that may exist and suggestions for managing them.
I will offer suggestions if students having problems regarding techical or internet support.
Managing the E-learning environment is the responsibility of the instructor. As a instructor, it is important to communicate to the students to avoid conflicts.
There are many different reasons for students to not engage with the online learning environment and course content. Instructors should closely monitor each student and provide individual communication with each student as necessary. The goal of such individual communication is to keep the student engaged in the course and to troubleshoot any issues preventing full and appropriate student participation.
This course have been very enlightning and I will definitely use thers strategies to enhance my teaching skills.
I have been very blessed to be able to keep my students close in conversations that are relevant to our discussions. My students are very well focused and engaged in all learning aspects. I do have shy sudents but able to pull them out of their shells. We all overcome challenges together.
I learnt some tips to maintain the right level of communication with my class and be able to face some conflicts if any.
Communication is key to any endeavor!
Document(!) and Organize ....from the beginning of the course. Maintain a system to easily access all communication.
