This week is thanksgiving week and with the DL Tip of the Week this week, I would like you to take time and reflect about you online class. Ask yourself a few questions: Am I really engaging my students and providing dialog and mechanisms to engage my students? Are my assignments getting to the end result of what I want them to learn in the course (based on the competencies of the course)? What can I do different to make sure my class is relating the information that it should?There are probably many more questions you can ask yourself. Below is a compilation of various videos and websites to help you think about how you can make your online class a better experience for your students and ensure they are learning the material.Additionally, start now by going ahead and documenting the changes you would want to make. If you are utilizing a Master Shell, you can go ahead and be working on the changes for the next time you teach the course, now while your reflection is fresh.
