Learn it or Love it

Online discussion Post should stimulate the learner, make the learner have questions on the subject. As an Instructor you should make your learner comfortable in the distance learning environment. A Distance learning professor should motivate and make the student comfortable with their subject knowledge. Often I have come across Instructors whom are not good at interpersonal communication in distance learning. A Distance learning professor should motivate and make the student comfortable with their subject knowledge.

 

Horton (2006) States the Activities should be meaningful and should not confuse the learner. Some suggestions to online Instructors would be. Always have a question at the end for your students.  Asking questions that generate engagement.  It should push the learner to think and engages the learner.  DO not approach each interaction as a professor, explore the learners development in learning by various interactions, not just the regurgitation of the data provided in the course. Have the student compare and contrast their peers work, ask for details in the dialogue.  The goal is to push the students learning to the max.

I am asking you as a Instructor, what are the 5 things you would make to use in the future. List them and provide a supporting sentence how you will implement them into your classroom or course. The information can be informal, just has to have support. Example - I plan on providing various learning methods by either starting or ending a posting with a question? Horton, W. (2006).
