Massive Online Open Course Activities

When a student disengages from class, it is a good opportunity for any teacher
to notice what methods we are using. Some practices may be fine for most students,
timed tests, independent learning time, self-checking methods. There will be students
who not only do not connect with these methods but who suffer negatively when we
use them in our teaching. If a student begins to disengage, be aware of the methods
we are using and look for patterns. This will also help us be intentional about using a
variety of methods with our class further engaging all of them.
In the same direction, I introduced personalized portal for students to for elearning.
I have noticed the following benefits to my students and other students:
o e-Learning is student centered. The learner is the core of any eLearning system. Materials and activities are designed with the needs and
interests of the learner in mind. Students assume control of their learning
experience and use it to suit their own specific needs.
o e-Learning is self-directed and self-paced. Learners control the
amount of time they spend on any particular topic. This allows learners to

spend additional time on difficult items before moving on or to skip

material they already understand. This individualized approach usually
allows learners to complete their education and training faster than in
traditional courses.
o e-Learning is interactive and hands-on. The use of a variety of
multimedia in e-Learning increases student involvement and reinforces
the learning experience. This leads to increased retention and a stronger
grasp of the subject at hand.
o e-Learning is flexible. Learning can take place anytime and anywhere,
as long as the necessary equipment is accessible. The logistics and expense
of face-to-face education and training can be extremely limiting when
students are separated by distance. e-Learning also allows physically or
otherwise challenged students to more fully participate.
o e-Learning provides consistent and effective training. All of the
target learners can participate simultaneously and receive the same
information, reducing the variability introduced through multiple sessions
in different locations.
