Activity
Helping guide students to build upon prior knowledge is important. Our purpose as the instructor is to make sure that we are steering our students in the right direction and that they are achieving the level of comprehension necessary to be successful with the information at hand.
I have learned that consistency is important so that our online learners can quickly identify what it is we are looking for from them to be successful.
Institutions should develop a protocol for instructors to follow regarding the use of all types of information!!
Setting a good example for our online as well as in classroom students is so important.
Understanding fair use and copyright laws is so important and this is an area that I am not clear on. This lesson clarifies and answers many of my questions.
I will be more aware when adding images or videos to ppts to make sure credit is given to the author. I will also be more aware as I am grading my students work to make sure all information is properly cited.
I feel critical thinking is a skill that we must possess to be successful. Unfortunately, this is a skill that many students are deficient in!! We can help them build this skill through active learning!
Comment on Melanie Pariseau's post: Engagement of online courses or blended are reliant upon active learning!!
Comment on Itzel Gutierrez's post: This is so true!! I am tech challenged and I have struggled with this aspect of teaching. The training for instructors just is not there and I have had to teach myself or reach out to coworkers for help and guidance!! Sad, but sometimes students become my teacher when it comes to tech issues!
I have found that I enjoy teaching so much more when active learning is involved!! I love seeing and hearing the students debate and discuss the topics and thoroughly emmerse themselves in the course information. This also lends itself to students building relationships with their peers!
