Managing Instructor Presence and Workload, Boosting Student Engagement
- being hyper responsive, trying to maintain as close to a 24/7 presence in the online classroom as possible and responding to each student discussion posting, blog, or wiki. Such an approach, however, leaves instructors exhausted, burned out, or frustrated
- automated feedback to provide instant canned responses to student work, but this approach can leave students wondering if a “roboteacher” is in charge of the class rather than a real person
- clearly communicate how and when they will provide feedback to students and design assignments and materials that focus on student interaction from the beginning.
- the role of the instructor must shift
- In contrast, a course with student-to-student interaction places the learner at the center of the action and attention.
- There are a number of ways to encourage student-to-student interaction in online courses. Of utmost importance is setting the expectation for student participation from the first day they log in to the course. The course syllabus should set clear guidelines for participation expectations (number of posts, frequency of posts, types of posts, sample student posts) as well as netiquette expectations.
