The importance of recognizing the pitfalls students should avoid. As a teacher, I think I will better inform students how many hours outside of the classroom are expected.
Undesrtanding the 7 principles will help to guide the students to reach their goal.
Being able to adhere to the 7 principles of teaching will help aid in the success of the student.
Learning the 7 principles of instructing was very helpful. Definitely techniques I will use in my instructor style.
I have learned that online learning requires certain skills in order to be successfu. Teachers and students must practice time management skills, avoid procrastination and passive learning, and be presented with the 7 online learning principles to be a guide as they learn.
I learned about the seven principles of good practice and how important they are to the students.
The seven principles of good practice include:
The 7 Principles of Learning was new to me. I think I will share it with my students since it provides a roadmap for success for both the instructor and the student.
As an instructor, I must allow students to take responsibility for their success. I must remember that they are still finding what works for them to manage their time to ensure they are successful in all they are doing for their future.
As always, I value all information on how to guide students on time managment skills as this is crucial in the onlin learning environement.
The responsibilities of students and teachers as stated are clear consise and realistic. Very critical for both to engae with and adhere to for continuued success.
In this module, I have learned the seven principles for learning were developed as guidelines for instructors to improve teaching and learning process. I will apply in my courses the seven principles of good practice: (a) encourage contact between students and instructor, (b) develop reciprocity and cooperation among students, (c) encourage active learning, (d) provide prompt feedback, (e) emphasize time on task, (f) communicate high expectations and (g) respect diverse talents and ways of learning.
The principles of a good practice are an excellent guide for me as a online instructor.
Really useful tips on how to help students combat procrastination. Students often do this but I had never really had any good tips on how to help them stop. Students underestimating how long it will take to complete coursework is probably the primary issue, and the course lays out the various reasons for procrastination more clearly and succinctly than I've seen.
The biggest obstacle that I have run into as an online instructor is student procrastination and their overestimation of their technical skills. I am learning through this course that it is greatly my responsibility to creative an online learning environment that keeps students engaged and on track.
The section on pitfalls was extremely helpful. In my own experience, procrastination or scheduling too much at one sitting (the second often grows out of doing the first) are a recipe for slipshod work and an invitation to plagiarize. I have often spoken with a student who plagiarized to find out that they put things off until the day the assignment was due, got stressed, panicked, and figured that turning in something (even if it was copied) was better than missing the deadline :(

Setting and following up onexpextations can be challenging to say the least, but it is critical for student success. You must do your part and also ensure they keep up their side of the task.
From this Module my key take away is to help students connect with how course content will assist them in meeting their personal goals.
