To think the first on line class was in 1960 is incredible. To see how far we have come and how far we can continue to grow for on line instruction is uniquely challenging and exciting.
I learned that the online programs are more attractive to the students because they have an live style very intense, they have more flexibility to study.
Technology has completely changed the way people participate in education. Today’s students may receive instruction in a variety of different formats, including traditional face-to-face instruction, fully online instruction, or varying combinations of the two.
It is important to guide students through proper plagiarism instruction for distance learning. Many times the plagiarism is not intended, so utilizing coaching strategies for plagiarism is vital.

The online learner are no longer just traditional students. As instructors it would behoove us to get to learn about our students and find out what motivates them to accomplish their goals for their future.
Learning about learning style preferences and level of comfort with distance technology/learning is important to set a foundation for the student experience.
I learned that:
Academic factors that contribute to poor academic performance can generally be categorized into 7 core competencies.
Though not exhaustive, this list can help faculty and staff tailor academic interventions to specific areas of concern.
These competencies are self-management, self-advocacy, technological fluency, information literacy, research skills,
writing skills, and virtual collaboration.
Online learning should include various activities to promote continual engagement from students.
It is not the school that makes the student. The students makes the school. Plato is not just a philosopher, it is a program created in 1960. Online education is more attainable today than ever before.
It's an ongoing misconcenption that online learning is inferior to face-to-face learning because people think online learning is easier. To learn that online and face-to-face leanring are equivalent in delivering education, but also employers are not differentiating the qualifications for employment based on method of acquiring a degree.
As we move more into the world of technology, institutions much embrace and structure their class offering via online in order to be more competitive. Not only should an institution offers a variety of classes, but it also have to focus on retention of leaners by making online classes user friendly as well as ease of accessibility.
I have learned that online learning is preferred by students who have a lot of other responisbilities and is sometimes more convenient.
Finding a way to help students achieve the 7 online competencies may be an important first step to truly transition many online students to full success. But also considering using these ideas in F2F and hybrid may improving learning all around.
The employee perceptions of online degrees suprised me in that they did not really base decisions on where they got the degree whether online or at an in person college.
Research indicates that online instruction is neither inferior nor superior to face-to-face instruction because there is nothing inherent in technology that significantly influences academic performance. As an acting conservatory, it would be interesting to know if this holds true for such a hands on training program.
El aprendizaje en linea termina siendo fundamental para que rompiendo las fronteras de tiempo y espacio, se pueda por parte de trabajador que estudia, poder ir buscando mejores horizontes de aprendizaje y saber, que incluso se vea concretizado en una mejora salarial. La vida ahora es otra. Los tiempos son más acelerados y en tal medida la educación tiene que adecuarse a dichos cambios. Algo importante, la educación en línea no tiene que envidiarle nada, a la educación presencial.
Technology-enhanced instruction is here to stay and growing at an accelerating pace. Motivated and well prepared students will succeed in online or face to face learning environments. Traditionally online students have been older working learners looking for opportunity to advance on their own schedule, however the pandemic has forced the online learning mode to include a larger group of younger "digital nstives." Success with the online mode will require digital fluency and virtual collaboration skills along with traditional skills such as personal-management (time, finances etc.), self-advocacy, information gathering, research and writing.
I am glad that the online platform for learning is available. I know many students, "adult learners" that were able to complete their degree because of online courses. Online learning is a great option for non-traditional students.
From this topic, i have learnt that i should continue to expect the continued growth of the online learning field. I will continue to improve my skills in online learning since the future of the modern soceity will be based on this form of knowledge acquirement.
Most people who chose to take online courses are non-traditional adult learners. They like the easy, they are taking it part time, and they are probably doing it to further their career. Some adults need to re-learn how to be a student so its importatnt they focus on the 7 areas of problems to help they succeed.
Understanding causes of student success and failure regarding online courses is very important as an instructor teaching or facilitating these courses. There are many varible that contribute to our students's success or failure. One of the causes that stood out to me as I was navigating through this course washow emotions can be a contributing factor to lack of success.
Clear and concise communication with our students can be a deciding factor of the student successfully completeing the course. Motivating our students and letting them know how well they are doing and pointing our and explaining areas they will need to imporve in can help the student to know where they stand and what they can do to complete the course successfully.

I have already seen difficulties in online learning, as we were all thrown into the deep end of the pool (so to speak). The technology gap is very apparent, and has severely limited the ability of many of my students to participate in courses. For tech/trade classes that rely on specific computer software in addition to the baseline of having one and a reliable connection, which is enough of a challenge, and many use the school's labs for access to industry software systems that can be prohibitively expensive.
Those without computers at home (or who recently borrowed them for the current emergency) have less technological fluency than the "haves".
