Communicating effectively is key to any invironment. Students need to be instructed to communicate effectively both orally and written terms. All students and teachers hhave diffrenet styles in learning and teaching. The internet has self inventory asking "How do you learn?" Ty
Be clear and concise when communicating with students online.
Communication is key in online learning. Whether it is between instructor and student or student to student... clear, respectful communication will keep all engaged.
As an online instructor, it is crucial to establish procedures for how students should communicate with you and each other.
Being able to communicate clearly makes the learning environment lower stressed and more productive
I have learned several new techniques for keeping online students participating and engaged.
It's important to teach good digital citizenship practices. Good comunication skills are extremely important, both for the content and to build the relatonships with the learners.
Communication is on-going and vital in an online learning environment.
There is a great amount of information in this module that I plan to incorporate into my teaching. Some of the ideas/items to include are: 1) Understanding palgiarism 2) Wed resource evaluation 3) Acedemic honesty policy 4) Wikibooks 5) Community of practice and 6) Email guidelines.
Clear, professional and appropriate communicate is criticial for the instructor and for the students to learn and have modeled. Instructors much build a trustworthy online environment to allow stduents to feel safe and trusted to particiapate and collaborate in their online course community.
Communication must be all-encompassing. The communication must include explaining course outcomes/objectives, expectations, and assignments/projects, and must be compassionate....to me that is what a great instructor must have, to help each student succeed. As different styles of teaching, so comes the different style of students ability to learn.
Because you do not have a face to face relationship with your students online, it's important for them and the instructor to have good communication skills so that they can seek help if need be and be a stronger student.
Adult learners are more successful when they are given opportunities to apply their previous knowledge, skills and experiences to the course content. Students that are able to interact with other classmates can solve problems together.
I found it interesting that things we use in F2F class are valid tools to show learning in a virtual area, the use of an exit tool to show learning.
Communication must be CPA Clear Professional and Appropriate. Model this and expect your students will spend more time reading and writing in an onilne class than they would in a F2F class. Consider an exit ticket at the beginning of a synchronous class so students will focus on contributions to the class. Develop a learner community that is more hands on and allows for experience of the participants to be a contributing factor.
I learned what methods to use when students are not participating. I can use the passive method or a more aggressive method may be necessary. Also learned about community of practice(CoP)
Student participation and proper expectations are key to online communication success. If you can facilitate a well organized and active community of practice (CoP), It will stand to benefit the entire group by being interacted with one anther to learn from and contribute to
Preparing Students to Become Good Online Learners --> Non-Technical Skills
Ensuring that students understand that not all communication is done by email; and if it is, it should be error free.
I will have projects that are aimed at solving real world problems to help students realize the importance of collaborating, critical thinking and solving career related problems.
I learnt about importance of good online citienship, reading and writing skills, participation, engagement, Community of Practice(CoP) aand effective communication. How something is said is more important than what is said.
I will emphasize the analogy of having a safe and trusting neighbourhood as my prefered Community of Practice.
