Hi Everyone,
Here are my thoughts on effective practice as a facilitator of online learning:
I remember when I thought that online learning was good for flexibility and equity reasons. I still believe this because many may not be able to come physically into a campus if they another day job that is necessary to pay the bills, or if they are child rearing, but nevertheless want to get ahead in their career goals. I think it is helpful to give students the flexibility and organizational tools to plan their life and address the requirements of the course. Transparency in the course is important and clear expectations are required. I think in terms of a particular practice, I have always like to think through written reflections of others and my own, as once things are written there is more time to process them in contrast to hearing them quickly in class when you may be distracted by something else.
Best,
Manu
