More content = more learning?
What can we learn from teaching online?
- Step away from the lectern (it is hard to lecture in an online course)
- Let the students do the heavy lifting: sense of responsibility; deeper understanding; student-centred content; consideration of audience
- Keep it real: authenticity increases motivation; motivation is critical for engagement
- Make time for writing reflection
- Actively teach Information literacy: To under how learning is structured, actively teach information literacy and let the students discover the weakness and the strength
- Foster social connection: immediacy behaviours improve learning outcomes; “online I have so many more opportunities to connect every single students.”
- Use common sense(s): we learn best when using multiple senses; visual images are more powerful than words
