How does integrating synchronous learning sessions within the online environment assist in developing a learning community for students? Discuss this question at length in your blog.
Create an outline or lesson plan of a 30 minute synchronous session which you would facilitate. What activities would you include? What transitions are needed? How might you use the session as a formative assessment? How would your session build a learning community among your students?
An effective synchronous session will encourage student-teacher and student-student interaction, and active learning. I will have an activator that is above and beyond what they will get from the discussion forum. This will promote attendance and encourage students to actively participate. With a math class, I will use the interactive poll feature to quickly assess student understanding. Students will be able to get feedback immediately. These sessions will build a learning community among my students because they will learn how to respect other people's opinion and ways of learning.
