We are applying what we learnt and still learning into the course we are teaching.

@ShareekaSheemal @robychang_fj @ShikhanrED403 @KrishneelTiwari @drsubramani_r @Gurmeet36056487 @avin_prasad @i_Nikhil_1994 @MadhuLa19181663 @SanalSN3 I feel that the subject area we teach also has a deciding factor in determining our comfort with online teaching. For example for theory based courses, online mode is easily adapted but for courses which has labs and practical, it will take time for one to adjust.

@i_Nikhil_1994 @ArishnilB @HiyeKM @ShikhanrED403 @KrishneelTiwari @RoshniSwastika @drsubramani_r @Gurmeet36056487 Very informative

[Keshmi Sharma @SharmaKeshmi]

@MadhuLa19181663 @drsubramani_r @ShikhanrED403 @KrishneelTiwari @SanalSN3 Agreed. Rubrics promotes fairness and also students are able to gauge their performance.

[Keshmi Sharma @SharmaKeshmi]

@robychang_fj I feel using the appropriate moodle tools for assessments is another challenge as we have to maintain the credibility of our assessments as well as keep in mind issues that maybe faced by students such as Connectivity issues and their understanding of the tasks.

Getting students connected to the online delivery has been hectic. Also assessing students to the required standards is another challenge where cheating is the main concern.

@ShikhanrED403 @drsubramani_r @KrishneelTiwari @robychang_fj @Gurmeet36056487 @avin_prasad @i_Nikhil_1994 I agree with your comment mam. The online delivery of courses is entirely dependent on the readiness of us as lecturers and our students.

@i_Nikhil_1994 @ShikhanrED403 @ArishnilB @HiyeKM @RoshniSwastika @drsubramani_r @i_Nikhil_1994 this is extremely helpful and we can relate to most of the examples as facilitators as well as a student.

[Keshmi Sharma @SharmaKeshmi]

@ShikhanrED403 @Gurmeet36056487 Agreed. It takes teamwork to achieve goals and objectives in the workplace.

E-facilitation refers to the ways in which different types of online dialogue (as opposed to face to face) are facilitated and managed.

One of the challenges in selecting an educational app is finding the right app for a particular lesson that is open-ended, exploratory, encourages interaction and engages learners. There should be comprehensive criteria on evaluating the educational apps.

One of the issues in e-learning is raising student critical thinking engagement and this is possible with using varieties of communication technologies available. Teaching and learning today in this modern age has changed drastically compared to traditional era. #ED403SemOne2020

@Gurmeet36056487 E-learning involves learning using web-based modules enabling student engagement, interaction and collaboration. Strongly agree that E-learning is a new version of distance learning.
