We cannot leave technology out, it is not moving closer or further away, that is why it is very important to know how to dose it and, above all, to know how to use the best tools and that our students have them to
Es sorprendente el crecimiento que la educación en línea a tenido, siendo definitivamente un factor decisivo el tema la pandemia y como lo describe el curso la educación en línea obligó a las instituciones a implementar una infraestructura remota para aumentar sus ofertas de cursos híbridos y en línea
It is a Excellent information and we have a lot of refletions about the online teaching .
Students understand and see the world in a different way, without a doubt we manage to serve them in the best way when we point in the right direction.
El conocimiento del perfil de nuestros estudiantes, nos lleva a reflexionar a que no podemos mantener una comuniación generalizada con ellos, ya que cada uno tiene un particularidad. El conocimiento de su perfil nos llevar a mantener una buena relaciones con los estudiantes y esto nos llevará una mejor retención.

Hola Gustavo, comparto su comentario en relación a que los "...muchas personas tienen miedo de preguntar a los demás,..", es por ello que los instructores debemos crear ese ambiente de confianza en los estudiantes, si fuera posible, antes de comenzar con las actividades evaluadoras del curso. Creando ese ambiente los estudiantes ya no tengrán miedo de hacer consultas y estaremos apoyándoles para alcanzar los objetivos del curso.
Desde el punto de vista del marketing, el éxito de una organización consiste en conocer las necesidades de los clientes. Este curso me ha mostrado que conocer las características de los estudiantes en línea permitirá establecer estrategias acorde a sus necesidades. Si una organización atiende a su cliente cubriendo sus necesidades, el cliente (el estudiante) nunca querrá ir a otra organización porque será un cliente satisfecho.
Conocer las características o habilidades de los estudiantes en línea nos permite enfocarnos de la mejor manera en él y ayudarlo en su proceso con empatía.
each student has different needs and tastes. We must learn to listen to these differences in order to provide more personalized services that meet the expectations of the students
Teacher support is vital in online education. Motivation is a frequent task for students to move forward.
It must be recognized that students have to be committed to online education.
Self-taught practice on many occasions in this form of education is valuable
Greetings, in this lesson we have learned about the rapidly accelerating growth of online education. The Covid 19 Pandemic has allowed a greater reach. It is important to know the post-traditional student and the expectations of her so that there is a good understanding between all parties. I have been surprised by the numerous skills that online education allows and with this I confirm that it is just as important as face-to-face education.
Have a great day.
I have never thought of the skills students need to take a course, I take for granted that if they have enroll on an online course tecnology is not an issue. Now that I read the information giving I will be more aware of my students skills to support them so I can improve my students experience in the course.
I have learned that constant or permanent training updating myself in the different tools that can be applied to work in online courses is essential to be aware of the latest technological trends applicable to an online course, within my plans it is in the first place updating and improving the management of my courses by dosing contents and activities, improving in terms of response time and effectiveness and quality in each one of them. Improve communication channels with my students to be in permanent contact with the student, improving retention.
It must be understood that students are now employees who study, therefore their priority will be to maintain their employment, therefore, it is necessary to be more empathic and analyze the current situation of each student, it is necessary to know the 7 competencies that an online student must have to understand within which or which is focusing the problem presented in the class as this will be very helpful to be able to guide and advise him in a better way and get him to continue with his course. Since, according to my experience, many people are afraid to ask others, they don't like or don't know how to investigate, they don't like to work in groups or they don't have many technological skills, but knowing how to identify the problem can be of great help to give an effective response to each student.
The student is struggling with online learning due to poor time management. As a teacher, I will let students know how many hours outside of the classroom are expected. To help navigate the learning environment
Hi Jamechia,
It is true that Covid was responsible for the surge in onlin learning, but now I think people are realizing that it is a more flexible method that can reach a wider population. Also, it saves a lot of gas and thus helps the envioroment.

Including some orientation course in Time Management, etc. could help students learn how to better navigate the challenges of online learning. I think we often assume that students have those basic skills, but often they do not know how to transition from in person to online learning. Giving some instruction could avoid feelings of inadequacy in coping with the challenges.

Engaging online learners is more than just making class "fun". It must also consist of genuine effort aimed at making sure the students understand their resources and the neccessary good habits that typically accompany success in the virtual classroom.
The online instructions allow students who like to continue education in order to enhance their professional performance and obtain their beneficies while they work.
