As an online teacher, I am used to organizing one-to-one live learning sessions as I think it's the most effective teaching practice.
- Set Learning Objectives First:
I used to begin by defining clear learning objectives with my students.
The big question is: What do you want to accomplish by the end of this course? I usually adjust the course objectives depending on how much my students are improving as long as the course goes on. I prioritize the student's objectives before diving into any technology tools.
- Content Delivery:
Synchronous Session: I prefer interactive learning but I tend to adapt to my students needs.
- Virtual Office Hours: I offer virtual office hours for live interaction.
I think that tools like video conferencing platforms allow real-time engagement with students.
- Consistency: I try to keep my teaching sessions day and time consistent. I make sure to send regular digital reminders of the meeting details. I also nudge attendance with reminders before sessions begin.
- Engagement Strategies:
I am used to encouraging active and interactive participation during lessons. In my view, asking questions, facilitating discussions, and creating opportunities for students to engage with the content is the best way to learn.
- Visual Aids: I use graphic organizers, images, posters, videos, and other visuals to enhance understanding.
- Feedback: I do regularly check in with students to assess attitudes, workload, and challenges. I am always concerned on adjusting my approach to learners as needed.
