Hello fellow ADLT 640 students!
Ten Best Practices for Teaching Online Quick Guide for New Online Faculty
by J. V. Boettcher, Ph.D.
I found this article that provides 10 tips for online
educators. It seems to be an excellent
synopsis of what we will be talking about this summer. Several of the author’s comments caught my attention. Specifically suggestions for building an
online community – which prior to this class I had never really understood as vital
to the online learning process. Another
was the author’s suggestion for using Socratic type questioning. Socratic questioning is a metacognition
activity that I believe models reflective practice. It interests me because I believe nurses need
to become better reflective practioners in order to increase the critical
thinking skills that are vital in clinical venues. I hope you like the tips as much as I did!
Ten good tips!
ReplyDeleteHey Linda! These tips are awesome! Most of them seem to apply to the principle need in any interaction - communication, communication, communication! I also liked Practice 8 which mentions that resources must be digital (sad but true) and Practice 9 that references learning in context.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this resource!
