Distance learning is a choice these days, popular for many college students. After all, what could be more convenient than to take a college course from a computer (office or dorm ... or ...) comfort of home was lack Oh?
Distance education, has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years, but it is a means of still relatively new instruction.
I need the skills and expectations different from the teaching in the classroom and online education. Many teachers are hesitant to learn these skills. However, you do not have to put other materials and some attention from the classroom simply, make for the online experience very effective.
The most important skill 3 What is that you need to become a teacher online you really outstanding?
1) You need to communicate frequently with students.
Frequent communication, does not mean that you have to be online every day every time. However, it means that you need to contact with students frequently. How often? Every other day at least. In the class of many universities, rather than just as spend the day of the 15-45 minute monitoring, you are taught in blocks of 2-4 hours a day to your online course If you answer the e-mail. At the end of the week, time spent online education is similar to the amount of time spent teaching in the classroom.
To clarify if it is 2) organization
Let you know from the beginning exactly what is expected them students. Then set the ground rules of the course. Students how often you will be online, regardless of them, and let us know please do not expect an immediate response time of the day. How quickly the time spent responding to the problem short, many students, and know in advance more, they should be in touch with you, you should submit assignments, receive feedback, they are scored they Please explain to students how to.
His students to 3) learning
Campus many classes (they promote the effective learning always there,! Not another story) test and lectures, are standard on. Share projects, discussion, and knowledge of other students, by comparing the idea - in education online, it offers the opportunity to reach students in many different ways. In order to engage the students, use as many different ways as possible, and promote active learning. Leading to "instant learning" lost the ability to share and, if there is a range of times that are present in campus course, discuss the idea of online and not take full advantage of these opportunities.
Than to learn online, there is no better way to learn how to teach online - before you decide that you teach online, take online courses on their own.
You, with no instructor standing in front of you, it will understand what to learn from far away or not. You will understand what it is necessary to wait for the answers to your questions so that. And you will learn the details on how you teach about what useful technology.
You do not need to be a technical expert to teach online certainly you. However, you need to:
• comfortable on the Internet
• The familiar with sending and receiving e-mail
• The prepared to spend some time to set the course for the first time
(In most cases, some courses) time to know • that it takes to become a teacher online effective
• excitement to learn new skills to help you!
Some of them will say there is nothing better than to see the face of the student. There is more time to prepare the answer thoughtful, because they will no longer be afraid to speak in front of a large group, others will realize that many students thrive.
Teaching online as long as you are prepared, very exciting, it can be very rewarding!
