Online courses offer a wealth of learning opportunities and possibilities. The advantages of technological resources have facilitated the teaching-learnign process with instruments that encourage autonomy, responsability, the multiplicity of sources and means for learning, and the development fo a sense fo critical analysis, as well the joint generation of knowledge. In order to make the best use of theses resources, as a teacher I must design a course that contains an integral structure that helps the student to advance with an illation of topics and ideas; that the information is clear and has all the resources that best help him; that he develops learning capabilities in interaction with the resources and with his classmates, and that he assumes the responsability he has in his process.
In order to have a good successful online experience there are a few things that have to be done. Navigational simplicity, easily able to move throughout the course, interactive content, and active learner centered learning.
My biggest takeaway is that online courses need to be learner-centered, and students must be engaged with each other and the instructor. Also, delivering content in a wide variety of ways will keep the students engaged and enhance the learning process.
La importancia en que los cursos cuenten con una estructura que se integre a la medida en que el contenido este segmentado, mediante un aprendizaje centrado en el alumno, involucrandolo en experiencias multisensiorales centradas en atención y manteniendo una comunicación bidireccional.
Lo aprendido en este módulo es como se deben de crear los contenidos de acuerdo con la modalidad para brindar una educación de cálida, y cómo debemos de crear estrategias interactivas para el estudiante con la finalidad de generarle un aprendizaje más personalizado e integral entre los alumnos y el instructor.
Un aspecto importante abordado en el curso es que en su construcción y diseño es importante crear actividades que hagan conectar al estudiante con su instructor de manera que el proceso de aprendizaje sea más colaborativo
One thing I learned is that online courses open opportunities to grow and has evolved so much in the last few decades.
Allows for more tools and a streamlined way of communicating, navigating, and structure to the online student.
So far in this course I have learned that the idea behind long distance learning has been around since the 1700's; however, it has become more accessible and popular as technology continues to advance. I have discovered that the best online learning is student centered. The focus needs to be on the content being formatted in a logical way that flows smoothly from one idea to the next. The content needs to be of a quality nature that engages the learner through all learning modalities. Checking a student's learning throughout the online course is important to ensure understanding and give opportunities for extra support. Finally, it's important for online learners to interact with other online learners to glean better understanding of topics, ask questions and engage in meaningful discussion.
se debe buscar un contacto importante no solo en forma sino en fondo para el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje logre su objetivo
La búsqueda de herramientas que contribuyan con una interacción activa y continua permite que los cursos en línea alcancen los objetivos trazados.
I have learned a lot. The original distance education started in 1978 with correspondent shorthand course by mail (fascinating) and there has to be a structure for easy navigation for students to be successful.
It is important to know where the information is and how to search within to find the needed information.
In my culinary classroom, Structural Integrity means keeping everything organized so students can easily find recipes, videos, and assignments. With Navigational Simplicity, I ensure the course platform is intuitive so students don’t waste time figuring out how to access materials. I focus on Active Learner-Centered Learning by offering hands-on activities like recipe creation and group discussions, letting students take charge of their own learning and dive deeper into what excites them.
I have learned in this module that in order to have a successful online experience there has to be a number of components involved. Navigational simplicity is a huge one for non traditional learners, being able to easily move through the course without confusion is a plus. Also active learner centered learning is another one because not all students learn the same. Having the interactive content helps all learners meet learning objectives.
As the popularity of online courses becomes the way of the future, one should look at the success of the first forms of distance learning by looking at the strategies that took place in the 18th century with mail-in correspondence letters.
