Communication is important and using your own work and not copying or rewording other people's work.
Communication and clear instructions are vital.
Communication in any form is essential for on line learning . Many student will miss the interaction of a F2F environment and through the various ways of communication you can help them develops learning skills.
listen learn, post, ask, teach, it is all the same.
When teaching students make sure your teaching material has been understood by the learners. You may ask students to regurgitate what is learned by asking them to elaborate on what they have learned.
The non-technical skills (effective communication, community of practice, reading and writing) needed to succeed in an online course are descrbied here. It is important to note that these skills are more important in an online setting than in a traditional F2F setting.
It's important we are clear professional and apprpriate with our students in our communication. We also need to convery the importance of being part a good online citizen, and how we each contribute to that.
Making sure students know about plagiarism and what is or is not plagiarism. Communication must be clear professional and appropriate.
Students need plenty of opportunitites to practice skills like reading and writing in an online envorinment.
Key concepts are ensuring that students know they can apply the information they are gaining to their own lives and know its importance, and the reason for its necessity. Engaging students more often with the content, such as using Exit Slips, discussion boards, or group projects, as well as reiterating and teaching effective and complete comunication skills are crucial.
I plan to use the following two new techniques: the FAQ Discussion Board as an ongoing tool throughout the course to address questions related to the overall course and assignments. This will not be used for content questions but rather for more system / technical / course operations questions. I also plan to utilize the Exit Slip method for synchronous classes early in the course and anytime I have students who are struggling to participate in a meaningful way.
It is important to set guidelines so students know what is expected of them. Reading and writing skills are needed within an online environment. Communication skills have to be a priority, you want to keep your students engaged.
Communication and motivation are the two main non-technical skills that should be encouraged. Communication not just with instructors but with other students and understanding that they are a part of this community. Create that sense of doing things together and it will make them more motivated to come to classes.
Communication online increases in importance as you lose things like body language when online. In my F2F classroom I could see if a student was having a hard time. Being online the student must be comfortable with reaching out.
Communication is essential to student and instructor success.
Commumication by the entire community is importaqnt. Be clear and professional in your communication. Have students work in teams when possible. I will desgin the course that requires communication from everyone. Have the students give online presentations.
Just as the students need to focus on their studies and be engaged in the learning process, instructors should also focus on teaching and learning and be interactive participants.
Having clear expectations and rules when online learning is a must to ensure an optimal learning experience!
