My New Adventure in Online Teaching - 1 views

  • I also was reminded that in many cases, our students technical skills often far surpass our own and that our course development and approach to online teaching should be informed by that fact.

      how do you come to this conclusion? is it supported in the SLN demographic data? are you sure this it true? do you buy into the digital native vs. immigrant assertion?
  • I already recognize that this will require me to sacrifice spontaneity and creativity at times but I think on balance it is the right way to go.
  • online teaching requires me to do something I hate - completely rethink my approach.

  • theory is easy and practical application is a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. 
  • I’ve constantly considered and reconsidered the importance of my role as the teacher as I’ve laid out Module after Module.

      hey bill. our research findings support this assertion and i want you to know that there is a positive and significant correlation between the percentage of course completed prior to the first day of the course and student (and faculty) satisfation and reported learning.

  • In other words, modifications can be done in a controlled setting. 
  • My emotions ran the spectrum from a little bit of anger at being asked to complete a task that I didn’t entirely think was realistic, to disappointment in myself that, even though I thought I had caught up, I obviously was still just treading water.  I’ve settled somewhere in the middle but regardless I decided to just put and shut up and make my way through the remainder of the course development process.
  • what I will take away from it is so much more than any all-nighter I might have put in.  I now feel confident to teach my own online courses and hope to begin implementing a hybrid online program in the 2010-2011 school year.   This class has given me that kind of confidence and I’m all the better for it.
