Being a new instructor during this change of learning formatting, i was almost an eclusive synchronous instructor, but will have tomdevelope new skills for the asychronous portion of my online classes.
I learned about the benefits and differences between asynchronous and syncronous learning.
I really like the suggestions on how to compensate for the lack of non-verbal communication in online learning situation, That, and the ways to clarify humor as being humor, as I use humor often.
Encouraging students and communicating with them is important. How to implement synchronous and asynchronous with online classes.
I think feed back is one of the most important things an instuctor can give a student. The more personal and often, the better the result will be.
Synchronous vs asynchron would work with both scheduled class times and but allow "working employees" to complete assignments according to their schedules. Both are great options depending on typical students vs non-traditional students.
What I found most informative about this module is learning the different student profiles and how you can pick up or categorize the students. By doing so, you can tailor a response that will gather a positive response from the student with the intent of drawing the student to participate more.
It is important in the learner expererience that they are provided with feed back in a timely manner. Respond with constructive criticism to boost confidence in participation.
The information provided by asynchronous and synchronous discussions are very important in the development of a successful course. Knowing the difference and how to apply I learned today.
I am learning the difference between asynchronous and synchronous discussion meetings to assess my students' needs better and effectively facilitate course content.
Provide feedback on a consistent basis in a consistent manner
Some students need more attention than others
I learned that asynchronous learning in many ways is more powerful than synchronous for student participation in courses. It allows for more students to inculcate and process the material that they are learning. It also provides for more individual, authentic responses from more students when compared to synchronous learning.
Engaging with students via email, online message platform or verbally can help with student participation.
Being personalable is important. Feedback should be constructive and inspire confidence in the student.
Amazing information with different types of online learners
I have learned to utilyze asynchronous vs. synchronous discussion topics on boards help keep all students involved. Students tend to learn more from each other in this setting, as well as all are afforded the opportunity to participate in their own time.
I did not know the meaning of asynchronous until now. Very helpful information. I also enjoyed learning about how to foster participation through synchornous discussion. Also very useful.
Asynchronous discussions are the true drivers of online learning, and allow for participation by students who my feel overwhelmed in a live environment.
I learned the differences in approaches and benefits of synchronous and asynchronous meetings and how to organize time and content for both. This was very
