@JordanKarlovich Adult learners strive to connect what they are learning to "real-world" experiences. The Appreciative Interview process can allow them to connect to experiences vicariously through their classmates and likely facilitate increased retention of information. #disted534

@leah_blake It does not seem very difficult! OLC offers great resources to help educators and institutions ensure they are providing quality programs and courses. As a novice educator, I think these types of resources will be critical to my professional development. #disted534

[MSN2020 @DanaMSN2020]

As instructors in online nursing classes, we could use some of these ideas. Many healthcare organizations use self-evaluations and peer evals for annual review. This would be great practice for that setting. #disted534

Students are conditioned to worry about their grades. How can professors reduce this anxiety? https://t.co/RPEvqk0Ayf

@MegsRNC This reinforces many of the topics we have discussed in this course. Providing students with a variety of choices will likely increase engagement and provide better learning outcomes. It will also encourage adult learners to seek out learning experiences. #disted534

@AmandaJ75031078 Great lists! These fit nicely with the best practices for teachers that we read about in this course. Communication (both ways) is critical to the success of the students and to the students feeling good about what they learn. #disted534

@GaromaLamessa Students need to feel that their work is meaningful. As part of a PBL group, the students can see their contributions as valued. They can also form connections and learn from team members, while feeling connected to the learning environment. #disted534

@GaromaLamessa Adult learners perform better in student-centered learning. It helps them to be more engaged and to see the value of what they are learning, as it applies to the real world. Meeting the needs of various students is challenging but necessary. #disted534

[MSN2020 @DanaMSN2020]

@deb_potter Students in online classes can often feel isolated or alone. Using creative techniques to form connections and engage the students is a great idea. It will likely increase learning-- from each other! #disted534

[MSN2020 @DanaMSN2020]

@nursemolly85 We can relate, but many online students have full-time jobs, family commitments and other scheduling conflicts with attending class at a "physical" location. Online classes provide the flexibility that many are seeking. #disted534

[MSN2020 @DanaMSN2020]

@JordanKarlovich Right there with you! :)

[MSN2020 @DanaMSN2020]

@MegsRNC Definitely surprised at the results...I would have never guessed that half of the students were in-state for online classes?? Definitely not me...Georgia- Colorado! 😉

Game-based simulation allows students to think critically about a "real-life" situation and the actions they might take. It demonstrates Kolb's experiential learning theory. DOI:10.1007/s10639-015-9453-x #DistEd534

Using audio or video technologies create a social presence in online classrooms. These instructors produced 5-7 min. videos and added ppt slides to impose questions for reflection via VoiceThread. Students responded by audio or video. DOI:10.3928/01484834-20180322-11 #DistEd534

[MSN2020 @DanaMSN2020]

What a cool idea! Students post e-posters of research and EBP projects and critique each others work in a forum setting. Discussion of the research enhanced learning and encouraged students to make practice changes based on the evidence.https://t.co/LdLps3Xx0n #DistEd534

These authors reviewed online post-conference (OPC) activities as a method to create meaningful learning experiences for adult learners where they reflect on the clinical experiences of the day and apply theory to practice. doi: 10.1097/NNE.0000000000000762. #DistEd534

[MSN2020 @DanaMSN2020]

Great read that demonstrates the benefits of team based learning (TBL) in nursing programs and how it can be incorporated into online courses to facilitate self-regulated learning by the individual members of the teams. https://t.co/LO34aLtbjT #DistEd534

[MSN2020 @DanaMSN2020]

This study of online nursing instructors demonstrated that relationships with students were a priority for them. They desired to get to know the students and support them to facilitate engagement and active learning. https://t.co/ZhfKFaXQ2l #DistEd534

[MSN2020 @DanaMSN2020]

This is an interesting article about online ESL nursing students. It's interesting that being online helped some cultural issues like verbal language barriers and intensified others like written communication. https://t.co/4blgnBcosx

#DistEd534 I re-posted my poll question because there were no responses last week. PLEASE take a minute to complete it. ✅ 🙂
Thanks!
