Get Your Students Hired
I never has heard about synchronus and asynchronous. So learning the difference between both really is helping me understand how to use both as a learning tool. I now know how long chats should last, how to prepare for one. I alos learned what consideration I should take before having a discussion.

I learned that it is important to give feedback in a constructive and timely manner. Feedback responses should be worded so that the student is encouraged to participate.
In this Module, I learned what is effective and non-effective when it comes to class participation. Classroom discussions that are not done in real time are more effective, however if you do conduct real time discussions they should be managed as to not overwhelm your different types of learners.
This module clearly shows the challanges of on line learning but shows how to meet these challanges.
Something I have learned from this module is that all students may not learn the same way online as they do in a class room. To help studetnts learn more effectively, I will make sure to reach out to each individual to see how they are liking a course and ask for feed back on how to improve their learning experience.
Offering and advising feed back during sycranous discussions. providing feed back in a timely manner
I agree, in a traditional classroom setting, learners benefit from immediate verbal feedback as well as non-verbal feedback in the form of body language such as smiles, nods, confused looks, frowns, etc. The absence of these types of feedback in an e-learning environment makes feedback particularly crucial in this setting.
While I do agree with the majority of the module, I disagree with the idea that synchronous discussions should not be used to teach critical information. In the settings that I’ve used online learning so far, I’ve had to use synchronous discusssions or chats for this purpose. Most of the time, it has been the setting of presenting our class power point presentations. While it does take a little more on my part as an instructor to make sure everyone stays engaged and involved, I find it useful to present a large amount of information in an interactive way that, in the end, feels a little more like a real-time class environment.
I have learned that, the open discussion I have been using, at the beginning of class is the appropriate way to have student's express themselves. It is also a time where student's can discuss what they learned from the previous class.
The structure of the class chat sessions, the administration, and the follow up will be critical to ensure the appropriate learning environment is established. The daily administration of the course in conjunction with the instructor's involvement/control/follow-up will ultimately determine the success of the online program.
i think that trust and understanding your students comprehension and needs is absolutey more important.
I thought that this was going to be your typical boring education on education topic, but it is actually providing useful information.
Adding discussion questions will make the online learning better. Also, consider the different types of learners and what they might need to learn.
During this Covid-19 lock down, my district has put huge emphasis on doing synchronous classes with large groups - just the opposite of what's suggested here.
Feedback in a timely manner is so very important in online settings. The student must know how they are doing and the teacher must provide that input both positive and negative with ways to improve to the student. Email is a great way to do this.
