I learned how to facilitate both synchronous and asynchronous discussions as well as how to effectively give feedback to students.
This lesson we learned the different between synchronous and asynchronous - or when discussions occur during together at a specific time (like in a chat) vs. when they occur in a board format at the students leisure. We also learned the 6 different styles of students learning, and how to communicate best with them.

Feedback is important. It is just as important to give your students feedback as it is for them to give you feedback on your instruction/course.
I liked learning the difference between asynchronous dicussion and synchronous. I think it helps to better understand how to get the student to their individual highest potential.
I learnt the difference between synchronous and asynchronous learning . I learnt the importance of using emoticons to instil humor . I learnt how important it is to intervene to add direction to students learning . I learnt that asunchronous is preferred over synchronous.

I learnt the difference between asynchronous and synchronous discussions . It surprised me to know that asynchronous is preferred over synchronous!! I also learnt teh importance of using emoticons to instill humor . How to intervene at teh right time . How to gove guidelines .
Discussion in an online class is just as important as discussion in a traditional classroom. In addition, feedback is also important. Students need to feel rewarded in some way for their input.
It was interesting to see how asynchronous discussion was so much more effective than synchronous. I appreciated all the input on how to maintain the focus of the discussion as well as to provide feedback and constructive criticism to students.
I was interested to see the learning style catagories of Bergquist and Phillips. Had not heard of the Avoidant, the Competetive, and the Dependent, but I have seen them everyday. I appreciate the information concerning synchronous and asynchronous dialogues. I would not have known to keep synchronous chats to few people at a time, but it makes sense. I appreciate the information concerning student support and how to encourage them to be engaged. I also appreciate the knowledge to keep core content by video etc and not by synchronous meeting. Very good to know. Use that for support, answers, and relationship building.
I learn the definition of asynchronous and synchronous. I think whether you are teaching online or face-to-face it is always important to make sure that all your students are active. Some students are going to be shy and more reluctant but find a way to get them to engage in the conversation. I have found online these students are more likely to share than in an oral setting.
It is important to allow students a few minutes of social time at the beginning and end of a chat. It works out better to have commnication be asynchronous when covering important material. In synchronous communications, plan time ahead of time for students to have thought of their answers. Limit the size of the synchronous groups.
I learn about Discuss Board and how and when to use the different type of Discussion. I also learned how important feedback is in an online learning platform. In a CTE class I would use it to encourage additional learning and to check for misunderstanding of material being covered
By having both asynchronous and synchronous discussions proves to be beneficial. Asynchronous is better depending on class size. Feed bacj us imposrtant and make sure it is clear.
Engaging students is the key to their success and course comprehension. Asynchronous is the way to go with a group of students; synchronous is real time and reserved for one on one.
Most learners do not have only one method of learning. So as an instructor, I must be able to identify those methods and address them if needed.
To remeber that students have different learning styles, and to know how to deal with each student in a responsible way.
A valid point was made about not having critical lectures hosted as live lectures. The is crucial to the learners atmospher. When you have students apart of your lectures the recording can be lengthy and insufficient for most learning styles if others can't keep up with the content. Also, watch how you address your students in your feedbac. Your verbiage is important and crucial in not diminishing a students value.
It was valuable in learning the differences between asynchronous and synchronous meetigs. These provided an understanding of how we can engage students in the discussion forums. In the engagement of discussion plays a role in student participation and engaging the students in learning the topic of discussion and how they can apply what they are learning in the career path they are obtaining a degree in.
