Case 5: Getting from A to B Upon reading case study five, “Getting from A to B”, we have gained a greater understanding of the characteristics and factors associated with improving instruction for an online class. The case starts off with an example of a subject matter expert who is teaching an online course for the first time. Powers provided the characteristics of the SME before beginning the case study. Based on these elements, Powers decided how he could improve her course. Powers began by mentioning a proposed design model for the course after he viewed the professor’s syllabus, which was in the format of a learning portfolio.
In this essay I will explain the difference between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. I will also give some of the challenges that students in an online learning environment face that are different compared to students at traditional institutions. Also I will explain what instructors can do to foster each type of motivation. What is the difference between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation? Intrinsic motivation is doing something interesting, enjoyable, the learning t permits, or the feelings of accomplish it evokes.
I also explained to her that if I posted a discussion question in a forum that my classmates could give me feedback on what they think about what I said. She had asked is their a certain time that I had to be online? I told her no, that the classes I am taking were all based on asynchronous communication, and that I could read messages that my classmates wrote or I could post my work when ever I had time to do it. She thought online learning was very intrusting because you don't have to be in a class room for hours at a time and still learn the same
The negative that I have about this is not having live discussion with online instructor or seeing their face. Learning and skills development, students work and learn at their pace with no restriction time as traditional learning. What am I interested in exploring this subject the difference and advantage of online learning vs. traditional learning, I have picked the right choice of doing online classes are they basically near the same. What questions about the subject would I most like answers to would be learning and skills development. Who might be able to talk to about this subject would be a person that's has experienced this before which be my mother.
Below are the five steps of SQ3R study strategy: Survey: Before reading the chapter, review everything in the chapter, such as the title, headings, subheadings, and charts. Students must make note of the main ideas that are presented to recall prior knowledge that they might have about the topic and have what they will read easy to access. Question: Students must question while surveying the chapter. Students turn each heading into a question before reading. Students must ask themselves, “What did my instructor say about this chapter or subject when it was assigned?” and “What do I already know about this subject?” Reading in order to find the answer gives students a purpose for reading.
| When going to college online the schedule is more flexiable, convence, easier to spend time at work, with family. When going to school online a person can set their own work hours for homework. It is more benefital for some people because some have handy caps. Going to school online it is relaxing, support of friends, family and can work at their own pace. The instructors are different they have different values, ideas, and teaching medothods.
I will also get family or friend's to help me motivate me to work on my assignment/s. During this I may need the following resources like, text books which contain answers which I can use to help me work on my essay/s. I may also need, notes which I made in class, computer to use to research from and a one to one tutor to help me guide me to make a timetable to organise how and when I can do my work during the week. I think I might achieve this goal by 28/11/12. I will review this goal by making sure that I am not stressing out on the deadline day or on the week of the deadline day.
Unlike with traditional classes where you can meet people and form study groups for the class. Also when doing group projects it is a lot easier to be able to meet and work with them without having to worry if your group members will log into class and participate. Online classes can save you money because you do not need to buy school supplies. You only need is a laptop. In traditional classes you need books, traditional supplies, and any additional supplies the class requests.
End of Course Reflection Regina Browning EXP105 Personal Dimensions of Education Steve Dashiell September 29, 2014 End of Course Reflection When I first started this course, my definition of learning was the way we take in and process information. After completing this course I would have to add to that definition. I would now explain learning as the way we take in, process and respond to information and stimuli. This course has taught me a lot about myself and the way I learn. I have learned about my Learning Patterns and how to use them in a way that is not only beneficial to my success as a student, but in the tasks of everyday life.
Freire's ideas of the "banking" concept is portrayed in the use of teaching through online courses because it further enhances his argument. Freire argues that we should change the way we teach and how we are taught. In general, students come to school and are given information from their teachers. The students are given this information and are required to repeat it to their teacher in some form, whether it be a test or an assignment. Freire compares this type of system to that of a banking process.
