Effective feedback is an essential component of the online classroom. This should include constructive feedback for both the student and the instructor. Do you feel that feedback can at all inhibit positive learning outcomes? #DistEd534

Group work can prove beneficial in a multitude of ways. While some students enjoy group work, others find it to be a difficult task. Group work has shown to improve critical thinking skills and student engagement. Do you enjoy assignments that involve group work? #DistEd534
Do you feel the NCLEX should be the sole performance indicator used to measure a nursing programs academic quality? Is this something that needs to be re-evaluated? #DistEd534
Distance education can prove challenging for many students today. One of these challenges includes technical difficulties. The lack of confidence in using the internet can result in decreased student engagement and poor learning outcomes. #DistEd534

@KatM57077656 @serine_manuel Educators in the online setting must be willing to try new tools in the classroom. As technology advances, the array of modalities available for teaching continues to grow. I too enjoy Kahoot and Zoom. What is your favorite online tool to use? #DistEd534
@DistanceEdSavy Online group work can be challenging for some students. While group work does encourage critical thinking skill and student engagement, not all students are comfortable working in groups. Do you enjoy working in groups or prefer individual assignments? #DistEd534
@DistanceEdSavy The announcement section of an online course can be very useful as well as informative. I frequently find myself checking the announcement section in each course to stay abreast any changes or updates that may occur within the classroom. #DistEd534
@KatM57077656 @MaryBye40200404 Online education is not something new. Most of my BSN program in 2008 was virtual. I think the pandemic has brought light to the matter and shown how online education really can be just as effective as the traditional classroom. #DistEd534
@DistanceEdSavy I found this article very interesting and to be a great resource for students entering the work force. While it would present some challenges, I feel the benefits would outweigh the challenges. #DistEd534
@DistanceEdSavy Gaming applications can be fun but also educational for students. I can see why more students would engage in such an activity. Educators should attempt to incorporate such applications into their classroom instruction. #DistEd534
@KatM57077656 Various types of learning styles are something all educators must consider in order to provide positive learning outcomes. Online courses can pose an even bigger challenge in meeting learning styles therefore, students must advocate for diversity within the curriculum.#DistEd534
@KelzenbergJade Debriefing students before taking part in a simulation will provide them with a greater understanding and confidence in the task they are about to perform. This is also a time where students can ask questions and clarify any confusion they may have. #DistEd534
@EducatorLoren Instructors in an online course need to be accessible just as they would in the traditional classroom. Instructors should introduce themselves, engage with their students regularly and provide the best means of communication for the course. #DistEd534
@DistanceEdSavy While NCLEX passing rates can be used as an indicator regarding the quality of a nursing program, I feel other factors play a role too. Students themselves play a role in their success and feeling competent in the material taught. #DistEd534
