Online learners want to feel that they are part of a class or program and that they are valued as students. The more they can become engaged in the course the more they will feel they are contributing to the learning process. This group is for educators who aspire to discuss and master the competencies necessary for exemplary performance and top customer service in a dynamic, rapidly changing education landscape. Group members share best practices, ideas, thoughts, reflections, and resources to help colleagues across the globe improve performance.
The tools discussed were very helpful but I found the ideas about learning space more useful. Making sure to include a variety of "spaces" for students to be engaged and active in the class seems useful.
