I am new to this format, but understand thea we must continue to challenge our students to get the most out of the online learning experiance.
Although very new to this E-Instructor progam.I realize we must communicate with the student. This means keeping them interested in the subject/course.
As a student of online learning and now as an instructor, I see the need to learn the different tasks associated with online learning. It is not just sending an assignment and waiting for a response from your students. It encompasses more details to make sure students learn.
I learnt that for one to be an effective on-line instructor one has to understand how Course Management System (CMS) works for themselves as well as for their students. That learning and technical support are very important for effective communication , learning, feedback and outcomes. I will begin by learning and understanding the CMS.
I learned that I need to be sure I understand all the elements I am asking my students to do. Understanding how to "chat" or "give feedback" is important. Students also need structure and good gidance. Being organized with materials and resources with be important.
In order to be a successful online teacher, I must be aware of the online platform that I will be using and having open communication with my students. They will be more successful in the course if I have clear objectives and I am supportive to ensure they are getting the required information.
Due to Corona, we are doing e-learning for the foreseeable future. The information in this course has opened my eyes to the fact that e-learning is entirely different/separate from traditional classroom learning.
What I have gained from this lesson is that online learning is more than just providing click-and-read assignments. The more brain-power and higher quality media provided, the more learning that is done.
To become an effective online instructor, one must understand and master all the basic components and successful delivery requirements.
I have learned that it is important to be aware of not only the classroom/online side of teaching in this format but also the technical side as this will allow students a much more meaningful learning experience.
Managing the learning environment and each learner's learning experience and to provide informative and constructive feedback in a timely manner, is very important to your success as an online instructor.
I learned that students not only need to learn the course objectives and content, but also need to familiarize themselves with CMS. It an was nice to see the various ways in which an online instructor can assess a student's knowledge on a subject matter.
I'll do my best to be prepared to walk students through technical difficulties, like the one I just went through to get this on here!
I am taking this course to prepare for emergency online instruction in our district (Calallen ISD). The important thing for me would be to familiarize myself with the Learning Management System that will be adopted for teachers and to understand how to provide my students with an adequate level of structure and support.
I learned a bit about managing chat room with students. At the moment since our school district is going online. I have decided to utilize google chat and hangouts to have students contact me as well as email.
This course gives all the elements needed for an effective on line course. Most of it is common sense once you understand the technology. I am already familiar with most of it, but some of it will require me to learn as I go.
I learned that students need to get a solid start with a CMS. A CMS Student Orientation course is important in order to make this happen. Online learning needs to be easy to navigate as well as content rich.
I will make sure there is a Student Oreintation course and that I work with students to understand how to navigate the system. I will also make sure the structure is easy to understand.
I leaerned an elearning course, should be well organized from objectives, lessons to topics. Online learning is different from the traditional classroom that the course within the virtual setting should be engaging, include projects, peer to peer communication forums. Tihe skills to facilitate a virtual class are different in many ways than those used in a traditional classroom.
As our nation proceeds through the COVID 19 health issues, it is becoming necessary to provide an education in an online setting. I have a better idea about how to design the online course.
I got a good refresher course in how to do a class online. I have taken online classes in the past and this course refreshed that knowledge.
It takes time to set up e-learning. Its takes skill to integrate your skill and knowleadge base to an e-learning enviroment.
