WHAT WORKED WELL
Working with other students within our group, and sharing our strengths
Presenting in the Moodle shell (notwithstanding some technical issues). It allows for a structured, easy to follow
presentation It makes it simple for students to follow links,
access discussions and find needed information. It makes it easy for facilitators to follow
discussions and progress made by students.
WHAT DIFFICULTIES DID YOU ENCOUNTER IN PROVIDING CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK TO PARTICIPANTS ABOUT THEIR ONLINE ACTIVITY DESIGNS?
o All feedback provided was constructive.o Not all participants completed their online activities so
it was difficult to provide constructive feedback in that instance, but the opportunity to do so was built into the seminar.

REFLECTIONS OF MY PHILOSOPHY
o I think my philosophy of teaching fits in well with online teaching and facilitation. I believe that education should be learner-centered and relevant to the student. I believe if students can see the value of what they are learning, they are more likely to be successful. That is why authentic projects and assignments are an important part of my courses.

o Learning online lends itself well to this style of teaching. Students can work at their own pace, and find information that is relevant and necessary to their own learning.
