@candyburcheri I think there is so much value in self-reflection. By allowing students to asynchronously participate in post conference it gives them the chance to take in their experiences, reflect & then discuss what they learned, what they could do differently, etc. #DistEd534

Creating a safe online learning environment in which students feel comfortable can have many benefits. It can help students be more engaged with their peers and instructor, allow for open communication, and generate a sense of community (Udermann, 2019). #DistEd534

[Angelique Cabral @Acabralmsn2022]

Effective educators must provide prompt, concise, and thoughtful feedback, especially in the online learning environment. However, it is imperative that clear response expectations be clearly communicated. #DistEd534

The use of a blueprint puzzle tournament is a creative, engaging, and fun interactive teaching tool that educators can incorporate into the online synchronous learning classroom. #DistEd534

Distance education is a great learning option that offers flexibility, accessibility anywhere w/ internet access & learning that is student-centered. However, online learning is not for everyone. Students must be self-directed, self-disciplined & self-motivated. #DistEd534

@Michell71587469 Podcasts are great tools that educators can incorporate into the online learning environment to meet the needs of students and present lectures and learning activities in a student-centered manner. I personally have found podcasts invaluable. #DistEd534

@kkaydee87 Simulation is a great tool that can be used to support learning. Educators in the online learning environment can utilize a variety of technology tools (manikins, VR, Skype, etc.) but systematic planning is key (Billings & Halstead, 2016). #DistEd534

[Angelique Cabral @Acabralmsn2022]

Growth in distance education has required educators to create team building learning activities that are accessible online. VR platforms may be a viable option that focuses on improving student communication, problem solving & teamwork skills (Coyne et al., 2018). #DistEd534

[Angelique Cabral @Acabralmsn2022]

@BincyJo84749417 Agreed. Web conferencing is a convenient tool that educators can use to present course content in a synchronous manner. It also allows students to collaborate, have real-time conversations, and provide instant feedback (O’Neil et al., 2020) #DistEd534

[Angelique Cabral @Acabralmsn2022]

An LMS is an essential component that enables the delivery of distance education. It is crucial that students, faculty, and administrators become competent users to ensure that the technology is being utilized to its maximum potential. #DistEd534

When developing, designing, and planning an online course, it is important for educators to adapt both the teaching style and the delivery of content to create the most advantageous learning environment for students (O’Neil et al., 2020). #DistEd534

#TenDaysofITDE Day 7 - Engage distance education learners with active learning strategies. “The instructor should focus on selecting instructional strategies that engage all the learners in active learning” (Simonson, Smaldino, Zvacek, 2015).

Transitioning into the role of a novice academic nurse educator can be a daunting task. However, having adequate support and training can help facilitate a successful transition. #DistEd534

This is a great teaching strategy. Not only does it encourage students to read the textbook thoroughly and review the material/content carefully, but it also promotes engagement and active learning. #DistEd534

[Nurse Educator @NEjournalonline]

Interested in an alternative strategy to reviewing lecture content to assess students’ comprehension of the course
material or to preparing students for semester examinations?

@Marievc1946 In addition to adequate training, mentorship programs have been associated with improved productivity, increased satisfaction & higher retention rates. Mentorship also allows new faculty to self-reflect, network build & professionally grow (Hundey et al., 2019). #DisEd534

[Angelique Cabral @Acabralmsn2022]

@Michell71587469 I agree. VoiceThread is a unique interactive platform that allows integration of audio, video, & other media-based modalities. It is a valuable tool educators can use to engage students & increase collaboration, while maintaining human connections (Reyes et al., 2019). #DistEd534

[Angelique Cabral @Acabralmsn2022]

Educators in the online classroom are challenged with cultivating a sense of community. However, peer knowledge sharing activities using blogs, wikis, & discussion/message boards can help foster community building, student engagement & satisfaction (Berry, 2019). #DistEd534

[Angelique Cabral @Acabralmsn2022]

@cmstevens37 @Michell71587469 I completely agree. I think as educators it is important to create a teaching/learning environment that is conducive to open dialogue. Students must feel safe and have a sense of mutual respect, so that they are not intimidated to answer questions openly (Makhene, 2019).

[Angelique Cabral @Acabralmsn2022]

@Michell71587469 @CandiceBSNRN Educators can help facilitate effective team activities by providing group skills regarding team building and cohesion. Additionally, the instructor must ensure that the teams are functioning effectively and provide feedback and guidance when necessary (Ekblaw, 2016). #DistEd534

[Angelique Cabral @Acabralmsn2022]

Student engagement is a vital component of learning environments & a predictor of retention and success. The Theory of Engagement (1995) stresses that to boost engagement meaningful interaction w/peers & valuable learning activities is crucial (Yilmaz & Banyard, 2020).#DistEd534

[Angelique Cabral @Acabralmsn2022]

@Michell71587469 In addition to self-disciple and self-motivation, students must also be self-directed. Self-directed learners are more adept at transforming learning into meaning and real life application (Cunningham, 2010). #DistEd534
