This was a great course. Much of the material was based on things I already do, but it was good to get the reinforcement through the class.

I have taught classes online and in the classroom but I've never had an opportunity to develop an online course.  I have an opportunity to help develop an online course for one that I've taught in the classroom for six years.   I was stressing over developing this class but the steps provided the class I just completed, EL101, has helped me realize it isn't so difficult.  I definitely have all the material needed for the class and that is the starting point.  I am looking forward now to moving this class to an online environment.   

Great experience! I have learned a number of educational  points by walking throughout this course. Thank you very much for the opportunity. I am most grateful of the content of the course. 

Great course, the activities to assess learning are great too! I enjoyed what I learned &plan on discussing a lot of this material with my faculty at monthly meetings because we all took different courses.

Continually developing teaching skills is one of the keys to engaging the students in the learning process and ultimately success in the classroom. The successful teacher should always be improving their teaching skills and one of the ways to do that is to have a professional development plan. A yearly plan should be written to ensure key components are addressed. There are two key components to an effective faculty development plan: faculty in-service and professional growth. A common mistake in a professional development plan is that not all components are represented. In-services are sponsored by the institution and focus… >>>

This course was very helpful and informative.   I especially liked the coursework regarding learning disabilities and how we can help students needing additional support.

I just completed El103 and found the course interesting. I gained a great deal of understanding in what goes into developing an online course.

I have found the games on the CD that came with a Medical Terminology book to be very educational but a fun and entertaining way to learn.

I just completed EL 101.  It was great to learn new things and a reinforcement of what I'm presently doing.  I really enjoyed learning about the Instructional Systems Design.  Great information.

The class help me to learn how to deal with different chanallges in the class room. I also learn alot aout how to be more creative with games and group projects. I enjoyed the class and felt I learned  come good information to apply im class room.

This course helped me to review the feedback that I should give the students. Great information.

One of our recent bloggers commented on the importance of learning students' names on the first day of class. It reminded me that even the simplest of techniques utilized by instructors can make such big differences and create lasting impressions with students. Our names in themselves are powerful entities that create identity and recognition. When an instructor learns and uses a student's name in a positive manner, it demonstrates to the student that he or she matters. Names are comprehensive representations of who we are, and a simple effort made to learn and use them adds a personal touch… >>>

Thank You. I finally completed a course that actually provided solutions to some of my more common questions.

I really enjoyed taking this course. It has supplied me with a lot of great ideas to implement in the class room. I too believe that students learn more and retain the information being taught if you make it fun and interactive.

This course is extremely relevant in the modern career college. Classroom management can be very challenging to any instructor. ED113 offers insight into proper management and how to alter a particular style of teaching an instructor may have to be a better classroom manager. It was very informative

great

This was a very informative learning experience

This course that covered effective teaching strategies was great! I learned a lot of information, plus I reinforced knowledge that what I had already been doing as an instuctor was right on track with good practices!

This is great and excitimg
