 How did you create an environment where active learning and authentic experiences thrive while staying on course to meet your learning outcomes? Well first I base a lot of my interaction with education on goals. Learning needs to be meaningful, needs to be relevant, needs to be authentic and needs to be applied to real world application. But beyond that, for my learners, I think they need to have a safe environment. I know I do when I'm learning something new, it needs to feel safe and comfortable. So when we come together as a group, we get to know each other, have a sense of comfort, present information to each other, have development in a face to face community of learners which is what's always talked about being online. I think that's part of the beauty of it. When you get online in this environment, you already know your peers and myself as the instructor. You feel safe, you feel like you can ask your peers questions. They talk a lot about, my students have talked a lot about, it's such a community there. I just email Judy or I email Eve or I email Mary for the answer and I feel like my students will say that they feel like they're in charge of their learning which ideally is the goal. I'm facilitating, setting the guidelines, I have my goals and objectives but they're in control of their learning environment because of the way that I've designed these presentations and their experience online and in the class. So I think that's why it's authentic and relevant because they are doing something, they're evaluating how they did it, they're getting peer feedback, they're having to write it up how they felt about teaching online, they have to write the pros and cons of how it worked for them and they need to write a piece about how they would make changes in the future and sometimes they say, well do I have to write this up, can I not just present it verbally and I go, it's part of my assignment to have you write it up I go because it's my belief that if you write it up and have that piece to reflect on later it will come back to you and you'll see what did work good and what didn't work good and it will help you when you actually get out there into the real world. How would you take your own advice and revise this course in the future? Well I also do an end of the quarter assessment and I ask specific questions after they've had the midterm assessment or a small group of inventory diagnosis I do one at the end to see future directions that they'd like to see go because I keep doing ongoing research of my own so for my, what I'm thinking of doing next time I teach this class is I would like to develop a module of learning so that they were in a group and each one had a specific role I've actually come up with an idea for a K-12 educator if they were a K-12 education it would be a technology task team and I've been looking at different areas where adult educators are going into the training field and I'm trying to come up with a module that would be relevant for them so I know that I'm probably only going to get students from one of the two avenues so I'm hoping that this module would work for either one of them and then I'll get feedback on that kind of assignment also.
