Forum: Distance Teaching Training for week 3
Go to the
link below and read the article on that site. In a post to this forum think
about what you would need to learn to teach a distance learning course.
Upon reading this article, I feel that I would need to learn
more about teaching and designing a course for online instruction, as well as
learning concepts that would help me become an effective Distance Learning
Instructor. I feel that I would also need to look at which conceptual
frameworks are the most effective and to employ them for teaching an online
course. I feel understanding these
frameworks should help me become an effective distance learning instructor. I would
need to learn more about teaching and conveying information to students in an
online course. In most online classes
that I have taken, I would not be able to see the student. The disadvantage of distance
learning is the lack of face-to-face communication, in which you can see the
expressions of the students to see if they understand your explanation. Communication
is much more streamlined when in the physical presence of students in comparison
to online learning. It would take a lot of practice to be able to know how to
design and demonstrate the information clearly without having to be physically
present to instruct the students. By creating a Moodle and having a sandbox
administrator account on Blackboard Learn, I have gained more knowledge in the
ability to create courses, as well as experimenting with and using Learning
Management Systems.
