I need to establish a Communication Code of Conduct for the class that is followed by all. I also need to set the boundary of when and how communication will take place. By following the rules I will lead by example.
Follow rules and procedures to moderate the online community to ensure that learning is being achieved.
First and foremost, setting the guidelines for communication and/or communication code of conduct helps the student understand the communication rules & consequences. In addition, through organization, students can find the communication areas; and therefore, become familiar with them, and eventually the process becomes transparent.
Communication is extremely important to the success of your students' learning. Establishing a code of conduct is also important for success and to have all included.
I have learned that a pattern of communication or consistency is very important for student success. The instructor establishing a code of conduct for communication on an online course is very important. I like the strategies of setting expectations through a communication rubric and outline the consequences of the code of conduct.
Establishing consistent effective communication is important. As a teacher, scaffolding what communication should look like is important. Students should be able to also communicate with other students in smaller groups as well as a large class.
I like how it discusses to have the students engage and answer each other questions on the discussion board first. Then the instructor can answer the question so that way it won't be on all of the work on the instructor.
Communication is key in online instruction. It needs to be continuous and consistent. It is also a great idea to set up guidelines for communication. Rubrics are also a good way to promote clear and concise communication to students about expectations, especially on graded assignments.
Civility and Managing overall communication is essential to learning online.
Developing guidelines and establishing a pattern of communication is essential for online teaching.
It is important to set guidelines, rules, and a Code of Conduct from the beginning of the course. The guidelines should help student communicate effectively with other students, with the teacher, and responding to the teacher throughout the course. The institution where I teach provides a Code of Conduct regarding internet communication which students much sign on the first day/night of class (F2F).
I learned that setting standards are important and their should also be consequences for anyone who does not follow them.
I learned that communication is one of the most important aspect. I also like that grading rubic that was posted in the course.
What i learned is that i will have to re evaluate and revise my syllabus and course out line with the On-line guideline for students expectation.
The need to clearly writ out the rule and expectation for on-line communication , rules and discussion rubrics to ensure that student will understand the objective of the corse intent.
Respect of culture is foundational for class instruction and student interaction and participation.
I have been reminded to encourage all students to participate in frequent/active communication. In contrast, the classroom, we have a variety of ways to assess learning when students do not 'talk', 'speak up', or verbally engage. Within the e-learning environment, students may be encouraged to participate in postings because it is an active way to being involved---with a passive engagement (behind the computer/not in person).
Constant management of communication in all facets is of utmost importance in the classroom. Not only must an instructor manage the communication between themselves and students but between students themselves. This allows for the professionalism of an online classroom to be maintained.
I learned about the way that communication can be used to keep in touch with students and help them with their class.
Just like everything in life, humans need boundries set for them. Online classes are no different and when setting up the class we have to have rules, procedures and consequences for the learner to follow to succed. The Instructor must have consequences for both positive and negative behaviors in the online classroom as well. I will set up procedures in my online classroom for the success of myself and my students.
GW Having guidelines of what types of communication is accepatable is very important and should be be on the first day of class. It is also important that all students understand that everyone needs to particiapte in discussions of the class. This is one of the most important wayhs to learn. I have seen where when you first start a disscussion and you are not sure where it may go but then it turns out to be the greatest learning experience.
