Learner Engagement

Deborah Cleveland on 23 Sep 20I have been reading "The Online Teaching Survivial Guide" and it does a nice job of talking about these three types of interactions and how to build those into a course.

instructor-student interaction,

student-student interaction

Opportunities for small group work that encourages student to student interaction could include problem-solving, gaming, or collaborative writing. One other thing that the book mentioned is to start student-student interaction casually. This allows people to get comfortable with each other and the processes of working as a group without having to wrestle with new content.

With so much technology out there it can be overwhelming. One thing that I did this summer was encourage teachers to find out what the district/school was making accessible to them and their students and then build their capacity around using that tool. Sometimes this was hard because they had to give up similar tools that did the same thing, but for the sake of consistency with students and also ensuring that all students have access to it...knowing what your school or district is using in essential.

student interaction with the content
-
In an online course, digital content is king. Digital content allows for learners to engage in it anywhere, anytime, and often while doing other things (think podcasts while workingout). The good news is there is a ton of content out there. The bad news is as a instructor, I need to sift through it all and decide what is the best content for my learners (keeping in mind that what might be perfect for one learner may not be the case for another). One suggestion that the book had was to have learners identify resources that extended their learning around the core concepts of the course.
