#4 Being Present
Challenge: Although online classes have the advantage of allowing both teacher and student
schedule their work to their own schedule, sometimes students are unable of resolving their
concerns asking the instructor immediately or they just need to know that there is someone
following them.
Tip: According with Aaron Johnsons Online Teaching Tips: You have the opportunity to
establish your presence in the online classroom. From the first day you can set your tone and
your availability. Email is a great resource for students, however, it can consume unnecessary a
lot of time and personal resources. Scheduling a time window for responding or an horary for
receiving emails is a good idea. Students must recognize time periods for consultation to
organize their work accordingly with the course.
#6 Customized Learning
Fom the Designing for Learning both the challenge and the tip and we added a small fraction
of the idea of customized learning:
Have you ever asked yourself, How do I get my students excited about the course content
and what we will be doing? In addition to being excited, enthusiastic and energized about
the course yourself, one of the best ways to engage learners quickly in a course is to have
them customize their learning goals. And to do it very early, as in a discussion forum the
first week of the course.
Tip from Checklist of Competencies for Effective Online Teaching: Provide time and
opportunity for your students to practice and master the skills that are necessary in
the online course. This will save us time (and emails) when they need to use the
technology.
