Communication! communication is the key to success with online instruction.
Here, I have learned that teaching on line must be organized to a specific pattern the students can follow and not feel lost during their class. This can accomplished through both synchronous and asynchronous teaching methos. Also it helps the instructors organize their classes as they follow a specific pattern.
Its imperative that an online instructor be organized and make sure students understand what is expected of them.
Learned the difference between sychronous vs. asynchronous
In this module I learned that is a significant difference between synchronous and asynchronous learning is instant messaging and immediate feedback. With synchronous learning, learners can receive immediate feedback from their fellow students or teacher through instant messaging. Asynchronous learning doesn't enable that type of interaction
I think asynchronous learning is going to be best for me and my students, I realize I need to have everything clearly laid out and prepared for them and will still be avaiable for questions or video chat if and when needed.
Both are different strategies of teaching. but I have used synchronous because I can interact more with the student and clarify doubts at the moment
I have learned that it is important to determine which method of online teaching works the best for the student. I also learned that communication and organization is key. Having an LMS to upload course content is an essential tool for easy transmission of assignments and exam.
I have learned that regardless of whether the class is synchronous or asynchronous or mix of both, the information must be organized and presented in a consistent manner so the students know what is expected of them. A well organized class that is presented in a consistent manner from week to week will help the students use their time and their tools to their best advantage.
Content delivery is important and must be appropriate for the course and course content. It is important that the instructor and students understand the components of the course and whether or not synchronous or asynchronous learning is essential to the learning process.
Organization and Comunication are key for when setting up your course. You need to make sure your students can progress through the course in its intended manner. Commuicate with your student in what you expect in them and let them know how to get ahold of you if they have questions.
I have learning communication is extremely important, and guideline must be set and understand by the students at the beginning of the course.
communication is number one! reconizing that students all learn at a different pace.
Consistancy is key. Also, my realizing that not all students will particiate and that is on them not me. If I make all the information and data accessible they need to be responsible as well
I need to organize something to replace discussion, and apply this replacement to a course that is designed asynchronously, when I have only one student signed-up.
Synchronous versus Asynchronous: Asynchronous learning needs a greater sense of organization than Synchronous, and Asynchronous also but a greater burden on the student in referecne to time management
communication & accessbility are key
We were forced to move classes online in two days due to COVID-19 and I wish I would have already had the knowledge of the tools we are using so that I could have taught the students how to use them before.
They are having to learning how to set up their online assignments and also do them at the same time. Going on week 2 I think we all feel a little better than last week about it
Communcation is the most important aspect both ways instructor and student. Also being well prepared for the time alotted for the class with appropriate information to fill in the time of the class to cover objectives.
Your organization, rules, timelines, user-friendly ease and a multitude of teaching abilities and tools must be determined and mastered. Asynchronous or synchronous teaching can be used for different portions of your course. Understand how you will feel comfortable teaching and understand the needs of the student.
This module taught me that a pattern of teaching basically characterizes how an instructor provides information to students and how a virtual classroom practice becomes obvious as it is repeated consistently over a period of time. Again this really isn't different from a real life classroom.
