    "professor ' s explanation translated into more meaningful learning compared to only reading a textbook or discussing the material in discussion boards. These results communicate a powerful message to online instructors who may consider adding additional podcasts or implementing them in their courses. Many participants indicated that the ability to hear their professor ' s voice made them feel more connected to him or her. "

Instructional Immediacy and the Seven Principles: Strategies for Facilitating Online Co... - 1 views

  • Table 1. Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education, Chickering and Gamson (1986) 1. Encourage contact between students and faculty: Frequent student-faculty contact both in and outside of class is an important factor in student motivation and involvement. 2. Develop reciprocity and cooperation among students: Faculty should create and encourage opportunities for collaborative learning among students. 3. Encourages active learning: Faculty should require students to apply their learning in oral and written forms. 4. Give prompt feedback: Faculty should provide appropriate and prompt feedback on performance. Students need help assessing their current competence and performance, and need frequent opportunities to perform and receive suggestion for improvement. Such feedback should be an ongoing process in collegiate settings. 5. Emphasize time on task: Faculty should create opportunities for students to practice good time management. This includes setting realistic time for students to complete assignments as well as using class time for learning opportunities. 6. Communicate high expectations: Faculty should set and communicate high expectations for students. Such becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy for students and they often will rise to meet the challenge. 7. Respect diverse talents and ways of learning: Faculty should create learning opportunities that appeal to the different ways students will process and attend to information. Varying presentation style and assignment requirement will allow students to showcase their unique talents and learn in ways that work for them.

      My favorite teacher Mr. Tyrrell used many of the techniques that are found within Group discussion triggers in his classroom such as; role playing when teaching CPR and first aid, but he also used role playing when teaching his class how to be active listeners.

Adult Learning - Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching and Technology#Andragogy#A... - 0 views

      positive and negative previous adult learning experiences is some thing that has effected me in my learning experance
  • The use of learner-centered instruction, especially self-directed learning, means trainers will need to create better ways to include opportunities for reflection, clarification, and guidance
  • Professional development of facilitators of adults should promote dialogue, reflection, and quality. The integrative approach to professional development involves key elements (Lawler, 2003).
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Is adult education Is learner centered Is transformative learning Needs to address motivation Needs to address technology learning
  • Theories related to Adult Learning. They are Action Learning, Experiential Learning, Self-Directed Learning, and Project-Based Learning
  • "Action learning is defined as an approach to working with, and developing people, which uses work on a real project or problem as the way to learn. Participants work in small groups or teams to take action to solve their project or problem, and learn how to learn from that action. A learning coach works with the group in order to help them learn how to balance their work, with the learning from that work (O'Neil, 2000, p.44)."
  • Advantages/Strengths: Process used in forming groups Balanced and diverse groups enhance the learning process and allow significant contributions to the learning community Utilization of group dynamics Disadvantages/Weaknesses: Struggle constantly with the balance between accomplishing their task and learning from it Difficult to ensure consistency across groups and across sessions of any program Challenge of group dynamics
    • Kristie Rushing
       
      Working in groups can be benifical if everyone contributes everyone can learn from each other. Just like statedin the disadvantages there can be inconsistencys across groups because not everyone may be willing to particapte and contribute to the group. I think that in online learnign we have all experanced frustration from working in groups when other members do not contribute.

      I love this quote. students need to be involved in the learning process in order to truly find meaning in what they are doing
  • Experiential learning is a learning theory that is learner-centered and operates on the premise that individuals learn best by experience. A good way to describe this theory is "learning by doing". Experiential learning thus has the learner directly involved with the material being studied instead of just thinking and talking about that material.
  • Experiential learning theory builds on experience. This is especially important in adult learning because simply by living, adults bring a wealth of experience to every learning situtation they face. Experiential learning theory is a holistic learning approach Experiential learning theory is most effective when the learning has intrinsic motivation which is a common characteristic in adult learning
  • In Project Based Learning, students work in groups to solve challenging problems that are authentic and often interdisciplinary. Learners decide how to approach a problem and what activities to pursue.
  • Throughout this process, the teacher's role is to guide and advise, rather than to direct and manage student work.
  • It is defined as the process in which individuals take on the responsibility for their own learning process by diagnosing their personal learning needs, setting goals, identifying resources, implementing strategies and evaluating the outcomes.
  • goals, the process, and the learner
  • Advantages/Strengths: Integrated with daily routines Triggered by an internal or external motivation An inductive process of reflection and action Linked to learning of others

  • Another way to open to the channels communication is if we email another student once a week to see how they are doing.

4 Tips for Reaching Training Introverts | Mindflash - 0 views

  • try wording the question a little more provocatively, like: “How does your solution to the scenario differ from the recommended solution provided in the training?”
  • If you’re primarily an extrovert you’re outgoing, gregarious, friendly, and talkative – but you tend to bore easily
  • If you’re primarily an introvert, you’re less outwardly expressive and more likely to process your emotions and thoughts internally. You tend to embrace critical-thinking and you do more listening than talking – but your introspective ways may leave you feeling awkward in social or group settings

  • working with introverts and extroverts is a little easier because you can observe the audience and adjust your delivery to suit their dynamics – using a little less talk here and a little more action there.
  • because introverts are more solitary, the self-guided nature of online training is actually a good fit for them
  • Introverts like to think first and talk later
  • focus on relevancy. Introverts respond to substance
  • keep the number of between lesson “pulse-check” questions to a minimum
  • Introverts disdain superficiality
  • keep scenarios realistic, succinct (get to the point!), and complex to up the engagement.
  • communicating relevancy and incorporating design features that show respect for the introvert’s preference for independent learning.
  • send your trainees a link to the quiz or survey a day or two after they take the module. This gives introverts more time to think about the lessons and how they apply on the job
  • Introverts prefer to write down their ideas

Assessing teaching presence in a computer conferencing context (Terry Anderson) - Acade... - 1 views

  • “it is the teacher’s responsibility to precipitate andfacilitate learning that has purpose and is focused on essential concepts and worthwhile goals”
  • However, it is only through active interventionof a teacher that a powerful communications tool such as collaborative computer conferencing[11], or cooperative learning [12] becomes a useful instructional and learning resource.
  • We concur with Laurillard, Stratfold, Lukin, Plowman and Taylor [17] that the teacher’s task is to create anarrative path through the mediated instruction and activity set such that students are aware of theexplicit and implicit learning goals and activities in which they participate.
