Get Your Students Hired
Although the feedback is to correct, you must try to instill cand promote confidence moving forward. Constructive feedback is ideal.
I learned the difference between synchronous and asynchronous. Along with when to use them.
I learned to address behaviors out of the gate about what may cause a student to be a non-participant online. Examples are avoidant, competitive, and dependent among others
This session of the trini g was very informative. I learned the difference between Asynchronous and synchronous, this learning of the two different styles will assist on how to coordinate my class when small class, one on one, large class.
I learned that both Asynchronous and synchronous methods are both essential for different students and their ability to learn different ways, I understand that here are specific ways to continue to learn and teach students and professional ways to address them in the online setting.
Asynchronous discussions allow reflection and more participation that allows students to dive deeper into their learning and environment. Synchronous discussions can limit students and may result in less thoughtful responses.
Providing feedback is essential to keeping students engaged and motivated. It is important to make sure the feedback is timely, constructive, and worded in such a manner that students can remain motivated and learn from it.
It is a great learning tool to ask students feedback on the lesson plan. As mentioned, as instructors we should ask the students if they are getting the learning tools needing to succeed in the course/
There are different learning style for different people be open to opinons and change in people.
I have learned that students have different learning styles that are grouped in categories. The few top categories mentioned are avoidant, competitive and dependent. The avoidant show no interest in the course and does not communicate with peers or instructor. Competitive students tend to dominate and desire to be better than other students. Dependent students tend to complete only what is required work and seeks direction from instructors.
An avoidant student can easily become an unsuccessful student if a lack of interest persists. Identifying those students early and reaching out to them can be the difference between them passing or failing. With a lack of face-to-face interaction, early intervention is especially imperative for courses delivered solely online.
Asynchronous and synchronous discussions both can be effective online teaching strategies, but they need to be handled in different ways in order to be effective for the students. Regardless, it is always important for the instructor to provide timely, positive feedback that also provides constructive criticism in a manner that allows the student to learn and grow.
Asynchronous is best with just one private student to assist with any private maters so they are not feeling discouraged etc.
I have learned that Synchronous discussions are best in smaller groups. The engagement is a bit more benificial for the students.
I plan to apply this by advocating for blended learning approaches in healthcare education—leveraging synchronous sessions for case discussions and hands-on training while using asynchronous resources like recorded lectures and self-paced modules for reinforcement. This balance ensures that all learners, regardless of their schedules or learning speeds, receive quality education.
