Get Your Students Hired
This was very useful information. The online coure structure, responsibilities, and expectations really will assist me in buidling and teaching an individual curriculum.
Students will bail on an online education if they encounter significant details accessing and using the CMS.
The role of the online instructor is critical to the total success of the program, course, instructor, and the students. Many roles may have to be modeled in order to meet the needs of the diverse student demographics and how each student learns and participates or takes responsibility for one's learning. I must be flexible and adaptive as well as considerate in assisting the various students in meeting their goals.
I have been teaching for almost 11 years now. So much has changed. One thing I am greatful for is the ability to adapt and learn how to change with the times. The online environment has come a long way in the years that I've been teaching. I am so happy there are tools to enhance the way we deliver materials to students. It's great that we have the online platform to deliever live lectures, so the students learning will continue with limited disruptions. It's also important to know who and where you can get online support at a moments notice.
As a online instrutor i is very important to know and understand your CMS as well as Nature of the course.
It never occurred to me that some students may not be 100% familiar and comfortable with the CMS, so I have never thought to orient them to it. Likewise, I didn't realize all the things that I needed to know, such as how to print out reports.
As a new on-line instructor, I found the information about operating all of the learning platform functions important. I do need to spend the time to become proficient on this. If the students are using it I need to be able to help them for routine matters,
I have learned that it is very important to keep in mind that the level of expertise of maneuvering through the class online may vary from student to student and that the instructor will have to assist them if they run into technical difficulties, as this may become frustrating to the student.
Due to this pandemic situation, the school I work at has gone to complete online learning
I have learned many things from this experience centered on this subject. I have made a point to make sure I know the content and how it should be delivered to the students for ease of undrstanding, but also making it easy for them to navigate the content
The instructor must be knowledgeable regarding the topics that they are teaching; they may have some areas they are not as familiar with as others and may need to refresh their understanding of these topics. Additionally, they must look at the learning environment as the learning does; be familiar with the platform and be able to answer questions on navigation through this particular course management system.
I like this module so far. I've been asked by other colleges to teach online with NO guidance. This is helpful!
It is very important to familiarize with the CMS use at our institution and how it is organized so we can support our students and also be able to answer to questions they will have.
I found it helpful to know all of the criteria I needto be aware of as I'm preparing to teach a class even though I might be an expert in the subject
As a online instructor I need to know how to view assignments and to be able to keep track of what the students are doing during the couses.
I also need to know how to set up a course and when to open and close a course
I will have virtual meetings with the whole class invited to drop in. It will be less formal than office hours more like a coffee chat. This will allow for students to get to meet with me and we can discuss isses, and ideas.
In some ways, what I do for an online class is what I have been doing for face-to-face courses.
However, there is a difference in seeing how students emottionally react to certain assignments. For me, that is the hardest part of teaching online: I cannot always see the emotional responses of my students. Thus, I cannot react to students as quickly without doing some journalling or non-quantitative assessments.
This first sections establishes the basic consideration an instrutor must take before instructing
I think that with on line learning you must have more suporrt.more than ever so that they feel like if they get lost that they can catch back up.
Given the same goals for a course,different instructors are likely to take different approaches to teach towards those goals.
