dinamoati May 10 @ 8:18 PM EDT

#profchat has voted and today's topic is "Teaching Online Courses"

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:19 PM EDT

what do you think is the biggest difference between teaching F2F and teaching online? #profchat

julnilsmith May 10 @ 8:19 PM EDT

For ME, it's the challenge of creating a community feeling #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Let's discuss "Teaching Online Courses", share tips and effective strategies #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@julnilsmith I totally agree Julie, I miss seeing my Ss F2F, also we miss on the nonverbal #profchat

julnilsmith May 10 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#profchat I also struggle w the tiny % of students who fill out evals https://t.co/EDxpX2bzLD

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@philosophypaul any tips for us on teaching online courses? #profchat

julnilsmith May 10 @ 8:21 PM EDT

#profchat I set up a Voxer group for a class once, that helped with voice inflection etc

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:21 PM EDT

How do you like #edcamp for #profchat ? Give @dinamoati a round of applause.

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A1: The biggest difference I have detected is in the social constructs of the "classroom" as it were. #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:21 PM EDT

No difference, but a warning: f2f content does not translate to online class; Instructional Design is essential #profchat

NancyVanDorp May 10 @ 8:21 PM EDT

#profchat Often TONE can be difficult to gauge, esp. With English learners

GalanteAngelica May 10 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Just arrived #profchat A strategy I used before: weekly videos of myself to show a human feel.

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Been experimenting w/ mastery based learning in my online composition courses. No grades/points/averages. Ss focus on mastery. #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@ambartosik Anna, you have delivered webinars, do you have any suggestions for us in connecting with the audience online? #profchat

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@dinamoati Online tip: Design with the end(s) in mind -- SLOs, PLOs, and the learners. Have fun. #profchat

julnilsmith May 10 @ 8:23 PM EDT

#profchat I require them to do intro videos now, helps w the personal feel. I also do video feedback

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@julnilsmith - Me too. Online communities are amazing, but take time & personal investment. Two things e-courses struggle with. #profchat

FE_Ambrose May 10 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@dinamoati... my biggest challenge is reaching those with low engagement. You can't just pull them aside to make a connection #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Instructor presence and social presence for Ss. Key to online learning success. #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@KrisGiere is an advocate for building relationship @julnilsmith perhaps he can give us some suggestions #profchat

NancyVanDorp May 10 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@GalanteAngelica Great idea! #profchat

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Regular engagement by video or live webinar keeps Ss interested #profchat https://t.co/ysbToSMTPX

GalanteAngelica May 10 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Just arrived #profchat A strategy I used before: weekly videos of myself to show a human feel.

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@FE_Ambrose I agree Kathryn, especially since we don't see them face to face to build strong relationship with them. Alternatives? #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Have found at times, I have a deeper knowledge of my online Ss than I do with some f-2-f Ss. #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@dinamoati @julnilsmith - I'd love to, but online communities take elements not prioritized in a digital learning environment. #profchat

GalanteAngelica May 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT

However, on exam day, students felt they already knew me well & I had no idea who they really were until I saw their names printed #profchat

NancyVanDorp May 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@dbuckedu how have your students received this approach? #profchat

OrtegaYecid May 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT

I think online learning should be a follow-up of f2f but not a replacement #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@dbuckedu ditto, teaching is having a solid academic stance as well as a soft human presence, how can we do that? #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Knowing AMAP about audience; interact (synchronous is possible online too!); show yr personality #profchat https://t.co/DvKuMd0aIL

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@ambartosik Anna, you have delivered webinars, do you have any suggestions for us in connecting with the audience online? #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Audio and video feedback -- key to personalizing assessment. #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@OrtegaYecid do you mean hybrid courses? What about those 100% online courses? #profchat

FE_Ambrose May 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@ambartosik I've learned to sprinkle in activities, use small groups and supplement with AV as well. Especially w/ more mature Ss #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@FE_Ambrose @ambartosik how was it received by students? #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Yes, beginning at the end result is key #profchat https://t.co/WigXsz75F1

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@dinamoati Online tip: Design with the end(s) in mind -- SLOs, PLOs, and the learners. Have fun. #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:26 PM EDT

They love it! Say pressure of grades is relieved so they can focus on learning deeply. Hard, though. #profchat https://t.co/7QC6X0fXdx

NancyVanDorp May 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@dbuckedu how have your students received this approach? #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@dbuckedu - True, but social presence online is different than F2F, & most unis don't train or prioritize that. #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@julnilsmith I'm trying to get more comfortable with recordings. I prefer live video chats, any tips? #profchat

NancyVanDorp May 10 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@dbuckedu Do you attribute that to anything specific? #profchat

FE_Ambrose May 10 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@julnilsmith I recently completed an online course and appreciated this component. #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@julnilsmith I used @voicethread today in lab, but it's perfect for online environments; have you tried it? #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Frequent, meaningful engagement that exhibits instructor's passion for Ss learning. #profchat https://t.co/s0Qy8HjHtV

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@dbuckedu ditto, teaching is having a solid academic stance as well as a soft human presence, how can we do that? #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@FE_Ambrose unless you assign marks for engagement :) #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@FE_Ambrose - Leveraging the benefits of ambient sociability in an online class can help but takes time & support. @dinamoati #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@julnilsmith big fan of that. I moved my LMS discussions to Voxer, GHO &Twitter, students love it #profchat

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Make connections as early as possible online & introduce collaborative wor early in the course. #profchat https://t.co/CJJrKcfk6P

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@FE_Ambrose I agree Kathryn, especially since we don't see them face to face to build strong relationship with them. Alternatives? #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Yup -- and this the reason why so much online education sucks. #profchat https://t.co/BY0AUCZsZ1

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@dbuckedu - True, but social presence online is different than F2F, & most unis don't train or prioritize that. #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@ambartosik @julnilsmith @voicethread how did you manage to get that Anna? I always use Free tools #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@FE_Ambrose @julnilsmith puts a face to the name, love it #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Perhaps TIME. For me to engage and for Ss to think deeply and respond thoughtfully. #profchat https://t.co/xc7d2DNYfU

NancyVanDorp May 10 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@dbuckedu Do you attribute that to anything specific? #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@dbuckedu Yes. Nothing worse than a lurking instructor #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@dbuckedu - This should also be a F2F practice. My 1on1 conferences are the most helpful feedback according to my students. #profchat

OrtegaYecid May 10 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Meet Ss f2f then follow up with online activities they can do at their own pace #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@NancyVanDorp @dbuckedu would love to hear more about it David #profchat

GalanteAngelica May 10 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Another challenge is that it's hard to control for plagiarism w/ submitted assignments #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Agreed! Personal conferencing has changed and revolutionized my pedagogical approach. #profchat https://t.co/4M1841pv7a

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@dbuckedu - This should also be a F2F practice. My 1on1 conferences are the most helpful feedback according to my students. #profchat

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@dinamoati @ambartosik @julnilsmith @voicethread There is a free version of voicethread #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@OrtegaYecid agreed but some courses are offered fully online to offer flexibility to Ss #studentchoice #profchat

NancyVanDorp May 10 @ 8:30 PM EDT

#profchat Started online course today-prof. Set up icebreaker 2 truths/lie. We come back next week to find out. Engage!

stephwurking May 10 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Gotta run, #profchat

julnilsmith May 10 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@dinamoati I use the tool within Canvas - but also use screencastomatic #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Has anyone used @zoom_us ? A free online video chat that accommodate up to 50 people for free. #profchat

julnilsmith May 10 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@ambartosik oooh no - but I will! Thanks !! #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@dbuckedu - Yup. How can we advocate for using research of online communities for our courses? B/c it's more than disc boards. :-) #profchat

GalanteAngelica May 10 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@OrtegaYecid this seems unrealistic if students are in remote areas #profchat

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@GalanteAngelica Try @Turnitin for papers to prevent plagiarism. You can also assign peer review. #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:31 PM EDT

I guess it's the typical way that some f2f Ss take over a class. In online, more democratic sharing. #profchat https://t.co/8Z02yuUfIt

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@NancyVanDorp @dbuckedu would love to hear more about it David #profchat

Do you prefer face-to-face courses or online courses? #edtechchat #edchat #onlinelearning #phdchat #highered

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@dinamoati @julnilsmith @voicethread @voicethread is free #profchat Can embed a thread into LMS, share link, or publish

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@julnilsmith my new fave Google extension is Screencastify, very similar to Screen-O_matic #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Yeah -- it comes down to effective prep for online teachers and those willing to be transformative Ts. #profchat https://t.co/AcQkXAil2k

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@dbuckedu - Yup. How can we advocate for using research of online communities for our courses? B/c it's more than disc boards. :-) #profchat

NancyVanDorp May 10 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@GalanteAngelica Tech can help - lockdown browser; photo ID and face to verify if at distance #profchat

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@julnilsmith @dinamoati Great to curate videos outside LMS with screencoastomatic or similar resource #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@ambartosik @julnilsmith @voicethread sorry, I was thinking @flipgrid #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@OrtegaYecid - I currently won't teach online courses at my college b/c they're completely prescriptive, not b/c they're online. #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:34 PM EDT

What do you think of this @OrtegaYecid Could it make up for what you think online instruction lacks? #profchat https://t.co/hF73VhleaW

@OrtegaYecid @KrysPhirangee good one! Voted :) I prefer face to face but teach both #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@dbuckedu - True. I've found that most PD offered locally is about tech tools, not tech pedagogy. Is that your experience too? #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Done well, online learning can free up instructor to focus on individual needs of Ss. Personalized learning. #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@KrisGiere @dbuckedu I learn so much about my students through 1:1 meetings. #profchat

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Incorporate personal conferencing in online course to capture both #profchat https://t.co/HUPEUk6TND

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@GalanteAngelica - Plagiarism can be tricky. Many LMSs have a built in checker like SafeAssign or TurnItIn. #profchat

@dinamoati @dbuckedu - They are one of my favorites times of the semester! :-) #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@OrtegaYecid I meant flexibility for our Ss who work I the summer, travel or have families, teaching online requires more Ts time #profchat

@dbuckedu I love online (teaching and learning) for the extra cognitive processing time #profchat

OrtegaYecid May 10 @ 8:38 PM EDT

In remote areas I would have online, but still the chance to meet with those who live close in the same community #iamanidealist #profchat

No matter the mode, the greatest element is the engaged instructor who enables Ss to become intrinsically motivated to learn. #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@KrisGiere @dbuckedu why I would never give up my Advisor role, I want to meet every S in my program even those I don't teach #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:39 PM EDT

One thing I continue to advocate for from pubs is a more dynamic stu profile option. Stu profiles can set the tone for engagement. #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:39 PM EDT

As a student I prefer online for the flexibility, and my online relationships are just as real as f2f #profchat https://t.co/osmoynz3Xe

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Done well, online learning can free up instructor to focus on individual needs of Ss. Personalized learning. #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Agreed -- the rest is just static! #profchat https://t.co/o11hY8fGSv

Many tools or too many tools -- the functionality to facilitate learning is the key #profchat https://t.co/0b34Xoz7JY

  Yes, unfortunately. Perhaps Edus are suckers for any shiny new tech. Forget to apply pedagogical value. #profchat https://t.co/3PaAuuVO25

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@OrtegaYecid - Most Unis I've worked w/ req office hours still. This often ends up as the f2f opportunity for local students. #profchat

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@NancyVanDorp @dbuckedu Yes. Allows some students a voice that is otherwise unheard #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@OrtegaYecid Hahaha! Did I force you to salsa with me in class, then? #profchat

julnilsmith May 10 @ 8:41 PM EDT

I'm adjunct. No office. Makes it harder. #profchat https://t.co/FOKSBiYWzS

@philosophypaul - And too often pushed to the wayside by a variety of factors. @dbuckedu #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@RusulAlrubail @KrisGiere @dbuckedu you should join us #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@julnilsmith - I completely understand. I'm an adjunct too. Harder yes, but he was asking about f2f opportunities. #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Key is to make online learning as inviting as learning something on your own. Like researching YouTube to complete a house repair. #profchat

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Many LMS now have virtual office capacity. That gives wider opportunity for all. #profchat https://t.co/3bJMEYtUga

@dinamoati @julnilsmith might want to check out Office Mix - nice add in for PowerPoint + good transition for those stuck on PP #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@ambartosik @OrtegaYecid lol! Typical Anna :) #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:44 PM EDT

I have 5 required office hours per week. Ss still prefer to contact me via LMS. Virtual office hours. #profchat https://t.co/pHgeYyaw99

@ohsoearly @julnilsmith what's PowerPoint? 😉 #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Course engagement is directly tied to personal investment, which is fostered via many dif ways. Personalizing a profile is 1 step. #profchat

OrtegaYecid May 10 @ 8:44 PM EDT

F2f can happen from 9am to 3pm @ schools hours and online at Ss own time and pace #profchat

julnilsmith May 10 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Have any of you used YouNow for virtual office hours? #profchat

@dinamoati @OrtegaYecid Shhh. That's supposed to be a secret #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:45 PM EDT

For better or worse! Just because it's on YouTube doesn't make it good repair advice. :-) #profchat https://t.co/OmyVj0tX2A

@ambartosik I am blushing now, something online will never capture.

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@julnilsmith - I have not. Can you tell me a little about it? #profchat

julnilsmith May 10 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@KrisGiere I use it for livestream office hours the night before exams. It's a livestream site https://t.co/mqKaoyEUKn #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@julnilsmith tell me more, I have not #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Sure. I like them to make an appointment so that I know they'll be coming. Instead of just waiting. #profchat https://t.co/jfM0NIdio6

#profchat Need to head out. Thanks for making my first Twitter chat so enjoyable! @ambartosik @dinamoati

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@dbuckedu @julnilsmith what platform do you use for Virtual OH? I use GHO. #profchat

julnilsmith May 10 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@dinamoati @dbuckedu I've only used https://t.co/mqKaoyEUKn so far. but GHO is a great idea #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@NancyVanDorp @ambartosik thanks for joining and hope you had a good time with us. Come again 😊 #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:48 PM EDT

Nice choice. We have a conferencing tool in Canvas. #profchat https://t.co/srwkyw5dYg

Yes, and can I add: no one know who the quiet ones are when it's online #profchat https://t.co/ZLYL3ojI5e

FE_Ambrose May 10 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@ambartosik @dbuckedu very true! I think it can encourage risk taking is Ss too. If they have to work on something, they'll experience a bit

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@dbuckedu @philosophypaul oh yes!! #profchat I use @doodletweet to confirm appointments! It's great #profchat

@OrtegaYecid @dinamoati I remember it a little differently ;) #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Canvas has a scheduler tool for Ss to make appointments. #profchat https://t.co/chzctDcpTp

@julnilsmith @dbuckedu my only wish is they would increase # of participants #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:51 PM EDT

.@OrtegaYecid does a f2f kind of #profchat If you're at @CTLSA_OISE join him for the reading sessions he organized https://t.co/r2Oy3G9ig2

OrtegaYecid May 10 @ 8:46 PM EDT

But I love this online session, thanks guys for introducing me to this #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Am always impressed by Ss when they engage in discussions via audio/video comments. No text, just their voices/selves. #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Be it online or face to face, the most important part is we are working with Ss and not content or platform. #profchat

tnalau May 10 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Just found this chat tonight while going through my feed! Yay! Tina from St Charles MO and @LindenwoodSoE ~Nice to meet all of you #profchat

OrtegaYecid May 10 @ 8:54 PM EDT

I think an online course is different than using online tools in your f2f course,eh? #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@tnalau @LindenwoodSoE welcome Tina, we are discussing online teaching #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:54 PM EDT

Perhaps the hybrid approach is key. Does research reflect higher achievement in hybrid courses? For me, hybrid is positive. #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@OrtegaYecid agreed, delivery is totally different, have you competed a course that was fully online as student? #profchat

ambartosik May 10 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@dbuckedu Not sure if research shows it, but I agree it blends the best of both #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@ambartosik This is part of the power of ambient sociability. Students engage w/in their comfort zone, not a prof calling on them. #profchat

philosophypaul May 10 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@tnalau @LindenwoodSoE Welcome to #profchat

tnalau May 10 @ 8:56 PM EDT

#profchat I do one course hybrid style & we use Blackboard as our LMS for all courses. Switching to @CanvasLMS next sem~not sure about that.

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@dbuckedu i think it's the best of two worlds personally. Would be good to find supporting research #profchat

KrisGiere May 10 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@dbuckedu - Hybrid courses are a mixed bag in my reading thus far; depends on uni support, appropriate curriculum, & training. #profchat

dinamoati May 10 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@tnalau @CanvasLMS we use @desire2learn have take courses on Canvas and I like it better #profchat

dbuckedu May 10 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Yes -- Ss perceptions of hybrid courses a key factor as well. #profchat https://t.co/sEFqXnS6N9
