Subject: What You Will Learn in this Module
Online students want, and are entitled to, regular and frequent communications with course instructors. Because they do not see you regularly in person, your students will take your online communication as evidence that you are attending to their learning. In this module, you will learn how to communicate with your students using the tools provided in the course template.
You will learn how to:
- Manage course discussions.
- Post responses to individual students.
- Post general discussion responses for your course.
- Determine if your posting was successful.
- Navigate through long discussions.
- Add links and file attachments to your response.
- Edit your response.
- Create a Profile document in Meet Your Classmates.
- Create and Respond to Bulletin Board documents.
- Create Shared References.
- Communicate with individual students through Private Folders.
- Create effective Newsflash Announcements.
- Respond to questions posted in the Ask a Question" area.
- Use the Submissions from last 14 days for quick participation
ACTIVITY: If you are participating in a scheduled session with a facilitator, you will actually participate in a Discussion Area Activity later in the module.
