Facilitating Online Learning - Week 2

Many of the tools that are used in our class will be things that I would incorporate into my teaching. My learners will be adults between the ages of 25 and 55. Methods like prompt discussion and initiate participation will be important so my students will have a good example to use with their classes. My job, along with help from others, will be to prepare our teachers for teaching a hybrid class and to facilitate in an online environment. Keeping younger students engaged will be important so the class is not lost. I think effective communication and feedback will also be important to keep the students interested.

I think some of the things I would incorporate are things that I taught to teachers this summer. Creating video responses using Eyejot or using Voicethread to create a presentation may be used. I also think that just responding to questions on the Elluminate whiteboard and participation in class will be effective tools.

I did like your initial contact. It was not only inviting and set a good tone, but it was also clear on where to go, how to access the data, and what to do and by when. There was only the minor problem with the logins but that was quickly fixed and communicated. This is certainly the most organized and the best format that I have experienced in the program so far. This will give me some great tools to pass on to my teachers.
