I will take away several strategies from this module to apply to my online teaching. First, I will keep in mind to provide regular and specific feedback to my students. This help will propel them to success in the course. Next, I will be sure to differentiate assessments based on student performance and needs. Upon first thought, one might think that differentiation in a virtual setting is not as important as the regular classroom setting. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Differentiation is paramount in the online classroom. The tools in most LMSs will help teacher build an individualized learning path for students based on assessment outcomes. The most beneficial lesson for me in this module was building a competency structure. This reminded me of standards-based teaching and learning. Building these specific pathways for students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding is an engaging way to teach and learn in an online course.
Click on each standard below to view specific examples from my work in this module:
Standard D: The online teacher promotes student success through clear expectations, prompt responses, and regular feedback.
Standard G: The online teacher demonstrates competencies in creating and implementing assessments in online learning environments in ways that ensure validity and reliability of the instruments and procedures.
Standard H: The online teacher develops and delivers assessments, projects, and assignments that meet standards-based learning goals and assesses learning progress by measuring student achievement of the learning goals.
Standard I: The online teacher demonstrates competency in using data from assessments and other data sources to modify content and to guide student learning.
