Five stages

• Apprentice – New online teacher someone that has taught for one to two years

• Insider – Taught more than two years and have mastered the technology required to teach online

• Master – Taught for many years and feel right at home in the online classroom

Identify the theories of distance learning.2.3

• Framing and reframing occur throughout the process and the heart of the process, the acts of learning, are transformative in that they “transform” the existing state of knowledge into the new state that emerges from the old (Haythornthwaite & Andrews, 2011).

• Because the online community is different from and interacts differently than the learning community in an in-person class, the nature of the learning itself is affected (Haythornthwaite & Andrews, 2011).

Describe the theories for engaging distance learners. 2.4

2.4

Describe the theories for engaging distance learners.

2.4

• Student-centric – responsibility lies on the students

• Communal – working with others and sharing experiences

• Transactional distance - attending at different times

• Multi-modal – lots of different media to use

One example is communication is not instant it could be days or hours before you get a response.

Differences between synchronous and asynchronous facilitation skills 4.3

Asynchronous

Asynchronous learning allows students access to classroom material, interact with their

peers, and ask questions without the fear of being ridiculed, since online.

(University of Phoenix )

Synchronous

Synchronous facility focuses more on class attendance and

participation in real life time. Often used in traditional classroom

settings requiring lecturing and quizzing strategies to assess the

student’s progress within the classroom setting.

(University of Phoenix)

Classroom management

Classroom management issues and resolutions4.4

Learner feedback• text messages, e-mail, comments on projects, and

comments on discussion

• You always need to be consistent and in a timely

manner

Challenging behaviors• Cyber-bullying - Set behavioral ground rules

• Inappropriate posts - intervene promptly and address the conflict directly (Kelly, 2013).

• Lack of participation or engagement - Support and engage

• Misunderstanding - Acknowledge the human tendency to stereotype and request students to attempt to resist this tendency. (Kelly, 2013)
