Get Your Students Hired
I really liked the idea of having a quiz for a code of conduct. That way students will understand the importance of appropriate communication in a classroom setting and will be expected to conduct themselves in your class. This also provides opportunity to establish norms and consequences.
The component I hadn't really considered was peacemaking,although I do it on a daily basis to keep lessons going smoothly and avoid choas. All of the components are essential to student success,from introduction linking the prior knowledge to create new connections, to increasing and demonstrating mastery communication is vital.
The examples of the guidelines and patterns of communication were helpful to see in order to identify areas to consider. A second idea that stood out repeatedly during this module is modeling the behavior. As I work with instructors to create their plan for the fall of next year, those will be pieces to include and questions to promote thinking in terms of netiquette, communication expectations, and a pattern of communication. In addition to modeling, creating opportunities for students to practice netiquette, communication expectations, and the pattern of communication will be important. The feedback students receive as they practice will help create the culture of learning and communication desired providing it is timely, specific, and helps students move closer to the communication goals.
In the Online Language: Communicating with Students course, module two I learned that identifying communication standards is extremely important to do. Using the class syllabus to inform students of expectations and consequences would be a relatively easy manner to inform students of expectations. Being specific about what type of communication is acceptable and unacceptable is key. Consequences for unacceptable communication is also important for students to be informed about. Communication must be managed at varying levels, i.e., between the instructor and students, between students and instructor, and between students. Using a rubric when establishing a pattern of communication in a course is beneficial for the instructor as well as the students.
I have learned to establish guidelines for students concerning communication. It is also important to establish consequences for those students who do not follow the guidelines.
I've learned during the past couple of months how important netiquette is. I have been corresponding with some of my parents through text messages and sometimes their tone is not very positive. I'm able to remain professional but that is something that definitely needs to be taught.
I like and will implent the honesty code conduct and the rubric for discussion board. that will be tremendously helpful
Creating a clear and concise code of conduct when dealing with online classes is important. It is also important to set up communication guidelines for both the students and teacher in the course.
Rubrics to show how participation is graded are also helpful, as learned in another course.
In today's times of texting and social media, making sure that you set the standards for communication is very important. I will definitely be including a Communication Code of Conduct to my syllabus.
You have to set guidelines for communication in the beginnning for students to know and understand and be consistent in your communication and prompt as much as possible
I also like the grading rubic and I intebd to use it. I also like the Computer Code Of Ethics assignment. I know that their a lot of tech savy students out tuere, so it is imparative the on line instructore get familiar with the different forms of communication pathways that student are using to communicate via electronic devices.
Keeping constant with the communication and monitoring for poor or disrespectful communications.
Creating a code of conduct for communication is necessary so students are aware of the expectations.
Communication between the instructor and students are the key to a successful course. There should be clearly outlined protocols on how to contact the instructor and what method of communication is preferred. It is important that students know what the instructor’s virtual office hours are to avoid frustration.
I learned that establishing communication early in a course allows for a smooth flow of the course and minimizes email overload for the instructor.
