OLTD 503 - Online Communications
If I could define OLTD 503 in one word, it would be community. Throughout this course, we were guided towards reflection on what makes an effective course, and how to ensure that we maintain the same level of learning and engagement online. Building a strong community is key, and for this to happen, we should establish a strong presence as educators.
Theories, models and strategies are applied to inform best-practice in online communication. Synchronous and asynchronous environments are examined. Tools, platforms and applications are explored to scaffold learning. Strategies for moderating and facilitating effective online learning are presented. Communities of practice are established and applied to student achievement.
