The first article in this series argues that instructors who successfully engaged students during the coronavirus pandemic adapted their thinking, mustered courage, and put heart into their teaching. In this article, an instructor explains how she took an alternative approach to teaching—simulive learning—and discusses the benefits that have extended to her in-person classrooms. Via Peter Mellow

Very interesting to learn what simulive learning means and what it entails. Teachers now a days really should give It a try for the benefit of the students.

Help-seeking is an essential self-regulatory and metacognitive skill. In the online learning environment, much of the learning is self-directed and there are generally less opportunities to receive help in real time. The uses of email and discussion boards are the most common method of seeking help in these environments. The current study explored students’ perceptions of the use of live chat technology for online academic help-seeking within higher education, with a focus on comparing online and blended learners’ perspectives. Participants were 246 students who were studying psychology online (n = 91) or in blended learning (n = 155) environments. The live chat technology was well received by both groups, especially for its ability to provide instant, real-time, and convenient help. Live chat was particularly well received by online learners, who were more satisfied, felt more cared about by the teaching team, and would be more likely to recommend it to others than blended learners. Further, online learners reported that live chat gave them better access to staff, and felt that this feature was a good approximation for more traditional face-to-face conversations. As an online, synchronous, private help-seeking tool between student and teacher, these findings provide a strong endorsement for the use of live chat in higher education, particularly for online learners.

"I thought I could read my students' body language. I was wrong. As an experiment, I used Socrative when I taught binary numbers. What I learned forever changed my views on being a better teacher." Via Beth Dichter

Good formative assessment removes the embarrassment of public hand raising and gives teachers feedback that impacts how they're teaching at that moment. Instant feedback. We can do this now. How???

ITS HARD TO TEACH THOSE YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW! AND IS WHY TEACHING IS A GIFT THAT IN TO DAYS SEASON IT'S TEACHING FROM A BOOK AND NOT THE HEART. WHILE THE CHILDREN OF TODAY ARE OUR FUTURE BUT ACCORDING TO THE EDCATION SYSTEM THEY ARE OR ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE TAUGHT IN , THEY ARE EDUCATED TO BE FUTURE "WHAT" WHEN THE TIME COMES WE WILL FIND OUT!

Great ideas to use in the computer lab, or even with just one device. |
