I think one of the key issues is motivation. A recognition that motivation is mainly the responsibility of the learner, but as the facilitator of the learning experience, there is an important role for you. An equally important insight is that motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic and neither should be overlooked.
Encouraging students is important. Allow accommodation for disabilities as well.
I have always been a believer that students are in control of their educations. This has reaffirmed my belief. However, through online learning, the students may need some additional assistance to get started. As an educator, I need to remember that it is not only a learning process for me it is for them as well. I need to make sure the syllabus is clear and concise so the student understands what is expected of them. I must stress the importance of time management.
Helping students understand that time management is critical. They need to spend as much or even more time on their work than they do in a traditional setting.
It is important to not only asess the students online learning abilities but also yourself as an instructor.
I think it is important to understand the online course from a student's perspective. This will help the instructor see if the course is well organized and that enough time is given to complete assignments.
Motivation is critical to all online learners but also its important for the faculty to understand their strengths and weaknesses as a online learn.
As a new insturstor there's a lot of new techniques that i need to be aware of,but the one thing that i do realize is everyone learns differently. I would imagiane most students learn by visualization expecially in Hands-on technical programs. I would love to see how we can incorporate more visualization in these online classes in the future.
It is important to help students make a good time line and learn how to prioritize. Let them know we are all in the same boat and be there to help guide them through the processes.
Students need both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
Explaining at the beginnng of each course the importance of time management, being able to find a quiet place, no interruptions is very important for the sucess of the online course
Through experience I have learned that not all students learn very well when online. Time managemnt is somthing that students need to have in order to be successful. I see my students struggle. It is important for me be creative, reinforce time management
Time management MUST be stressed for online students.
Focusing students on time management skills are critical to an online course and the success of the student. The instructor needs to look at universal deisng but take in the abilities of all learners in the course.
I didnt realize the importance of making sure you are ready and able to teach online
The Student and instructor first have to assess there online ability's. Then the student has to be made aware of the amount of involvement is required in the taking of the course.
Time management is very important with an online course as it takes additional time to complete as compared to a F2F class. Also, it is important to know the needs of the students and what accommodations are needed for students.
It very important to know your student's need, so you can provide needed accomodation
Though the students will be learning online, that doesn't necessarily mean it will be easier. Many of the same tactics to ensure success of the students end in an on campus environment need to be implemented online as well. Talk to students about how/when they'll get their studying done, be consistent when planning due dates for assignments, find out if students have any learning needs that you can help them address or direct them to the person in your organization that can. As always, identify your strengths and weaknesses as an instructor and leverage them for the online environment and help your students do the same.
What I have learned is that time management is crucial for both instructor and students. It is important to help students develop time management skills.
