it takes a special type of individual to complete on line classes

ONline classes, takes a lot of time but if you have excellent time management you will become successful

If you give a person enough rope usually they will hang themselves with it. I think that connectivity to the internet can be a useful tool in a small group environment, however in a large group, in my experience, students tend to wander away from the task a hand either from boredom or from confusion. If you are going to give internet connection time to sudents as a tool I think the instructor should be equipped to view what each student, in class only, is looking at. This should deter the students from gravitating from the sites they "should" be at.

I'm afraid that no matter how hard you may try and how many and how diverse the tools you use are trying to keep today's average student interested when instructing a theory course is close to impossible. Personally though, I think that the average student has more knowledge about what we are trying to teach them than we are able to give them credit for. Yes, there are some subjects that the general student populace is going to be clueless about when they come in or may have a slight idea as to operation but that is the exception to the rule.

An assesment is an effective way to determine if a individual retained information that was presented to him during a lecture. I find it to be very helpful to determine what students may need additional help or tutoring to get them up to par. This was very helpful information.

To implement a project in a topic being taught may be helpful, sometimes to learn a subject at hand involves kinesthetic learning and I feel it to be very effective.

I have found that when I interact my students with the topic that the daily lecture is going to be on they take the most from it. Kinesthetic learning is very effective with most of my students and they seem to retain info. better that way as well.

I believe dynamic learning is an essential part to the learning and teaching experience for that matter, it allows diffrent points of views to be brought up and disccussed during a lecture, learned alot from it.

assesments are a good tool to gauge a students comprehension and retention of information.

integrating learning is a positive thing to do to try and insure all students are learning when individuals are at diffrent levels.

Adults will commit to learning when the goals and objectives are considered realistic and important to them. Application in the 'real world' is important and relevant to the adult learner's personal and professional needs. Adults need to receive feedback on how they are doing and the results of their efforts. Opportunities must be built into professional development activities that allow the learner to practice the learning and receive structured, helpful feedback. Adults need to participate in small-group activities during the learning to move them beyond understanding to application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Small-group activities provide an opportunity to share, reflect, and generalize their learning experiences.

Distance or online education programs must develop and maintain quality educational options to successfully compete with conventional academic offerings; institutions cannot maintain a competitive edge solely from innovation of the online delivery format. The quality of online programs lies at the heart of the effort to attract more learners to online learning and to provide them with comparable—if not better—education quality than they can get by attending classes on campus. A quality educational program begins with the development of quality courses.

For each student have different styles of teaching methdods.

The only way students to communicate is thru syllabus, study guides, and other handsout materials.

In a learning Technology is a new effective way of learning, everything is computerized and Now in these day students dont want to read, but there are diffenent kinds of learning.

The Quality of the Outline Course is to be prepared on class assignments with syllabus, study guides, and be ready to answer question that the students may have.

Syllabus is very important information that a student should always have first day of the class. It is like a GPS or road map for learners to follow learning activities and follow the outline of their reading materials and assignments.

Nowadays we need to adopt the new tecnology like when you go online classes or traditional.Learners can participate easily in online courses by using the new technology where ever you are and using your own phase of time.

Teaching is sharing your knowledge.Be prepared everytime you have a class and use your prep time so that when you are in the front of the class you know what your doing and you can answer any question they will ask you.

I am concerned about exams online. How do I gave an exam and know that it is truly accounting for the students understanding of the material. In a traditional class, they are given with no open books, etc. How do we get the same type of results giving online exams?
