A New Resource for Educators: A Guide for New Online Instructors
The online classroom does not change the basic principles of adult learning; rather the format has changed when it becomes enabled by the use of technology. The process of learning involves an acquisition of information, interaction with that information through activities, and the creation of new knowledge. The classroom creates an environment that becomes a context for knowledge acquisition by establishing conditions that are conducive to learning.
Depending upon the level of involvement by the instructor and the student the online classroom has a potential to become mechanical in nature and it may easy for a student to experience a sense of disconnection from the class and his or her instructor. An instructor can help to create optimal learning conditions through instructional strategies and methods that are student-centered.
This article will provide tools and techniques for the new online instructor to utilize to develop effective communication, collaboration, class discussions, feedback, and working relationships, along with a strong virtual presence.
