Get Your Students Hired
Supportive infrastructure consists of learning support and technical support and they both come from the instructure.
I have been teaching for a while. One task I did not know how to do was drop a student from a discussion. This learning section was beneficial in ensuring I could perform the necessary functions for online class management.
Elearning is a dynamic situation with diverse students. It is opinion to invole in discusions and have team building exercies
Course structure, access to CMS and course tools and availability to students are key to ssucceful elearning.
It is convenient for students. The instructor should be familiar with technology and able to post information in a timely manner.
It was interesting to see all the different tasks and support that will be on us as instructors.
I believe that as an instructor a mastery of the LMS. Students will try to communicate with their instructors multiple way. For example, my students will try to contact me via Canvas, forms, email, and text. However, most contact me via Canvas, as such having a mastery of Canvas is vital to communication and it something I will learn and apply in my class.
Through this course I have learned the value of using time effectively when communicating with students. Especially when connecting with students in a long distance setting it is important to be organized, concise and straight to the point.
A great reminder that communication is strong, valuable, and should be approached in a strategic way depending on each individual interaction.
When I first began as a virtual or online professor I definitly was learning on the fly as it was mainly due to the global pandemic. Previously I had been completely in person. I think this section emphasized the importance of the professor reviewing, understanding, and becoming an expert on the delivery methods, and other important details, of not just the course itself but how the students are recieving the course in a virtual setting.
As an instructor it is important to provide students with the support needed to successfully participate in an online platform .
Although they have to complete most of the work inderpendently , we still need to be able to provide the support needed to guide them into understanding the content being shared.
Communication is a key thing when working with the online platform
Online learning can be a very good way for the students to learn. The instructor needs to be in control and knowledgeable of the material
While teaching Adult Learners in the on line and Face To Face (FTF), sometimes Adult learners have other Life situations. So you as the Instructor have to understand That disruptions in the Learning may arise. It is my opinion that Quizzes, Reviews Questions and pratice test should be able to stay in open mode.
As far as the Techincal level with each student for navigation there should be a avenue for each student to have and meet the schools platform requirements. I believe this would elimnate acessability fustrations.
This is a great resource for e-teaching and online education. Thank you on behalf of MTA Miami
i think is a fantastic tool for us, Academic Directors in Higher Education, to get familiar with online tools and its management. Great work!
Instructors participation on discussion boards mean alot to students. As an Instructor I will comment on all discussions, give feedback, and grade in a timely manner.
