To my students who reply “thank you so much for emailing me back” or “I appreciate you answering my questions”
....
Who are the professors who made you think replying to questions quickly and nicely was exceptional? Really. Please. Tell me their names. Let me at ‘em.

[Dr Sharon Lauricella @DrSLauricella]

Let the “shitty first draft” of your “online” course be okay. Kermit the Frog looked like this at first and he was still sweet and loving and fun. If you willingly decide that you want to teach online again, then you can draft, revise, and change accordingly. For now, be kind.

“Sometimes, exceptional instructor presence means you feel a little vulnerable... if I’m fully present in the course, then students get to know me a little.” Karen Brown - session showing the winning eLearning course #itcelearning2020

@alwaysbteaching I was struck by their awareness of tools that could be used by faculty but aren't!

Insights from student panel:
- not all students like e-books
- students want audio / video content and grading feedback
- students think some faculty under-use LMS functions
- some students rely on LMS calendar and wish all due dates appear there

Still noodling over feedback. Our student panel experts didn't surprise me. I continue to hear: timeliness is key so they can improve before the next assignment is due, instructors can't ever give too much feedback, and students welcome audio and video feedback.#ITCeLearning2020

[Heather Guevara @hguevaraPCC]

"I have too many students in my online classes to give regular, timely feedback..." Consider which assignments require rich feedback and when a rubric may be just right. Design due dates according feedback level and grading turnaround time. #ITCelearning2020 @alwaysbteaching

Human-centered design for student learning. How can we empower learners to direct themselves? We remove ourselves from the center of the learning. We ask ourselves what we need to learn from our students about their learning. #ITCeLearning2020

[Heather Guevara @hguevaraPCC]

@freednog Yeah, yeah, yeah! 👐
