Student Confidence Online

ABOUT

Introduction

Common emotions among online students are loneliness and anxiety.

There is much that professors can do to help. Some basics:

  • Live-streaming and Zoom sessions
  • Online forums
  • Invitation to ask questions by e-mail or a live face time session

Demonstrate

Demonstrate Confidence

  • This online course is not an experiment
  • I've got this, so you can be sure of a good educational experience

Build community

Build Community through Face Time

  • Add face time interaction even if the course is asynchronous (Zoom, Google Meet)
  • Face time may be a course requirement, but it may be optional
  • Purpose is less to provide instruction than to enhance a sense of community
  • Keep the meeting light and allow for participant interactions and questions

Ensure

Ensure Resources

  • Update your reading lists with e-resources whose availability you have checked
  • Predetermine what informational and technology resources your students need
  • Be available to answer resource-based questions
  • Work with the librarian to enable your students to access course resources easily

Form

Consider Formative Assignments

  • Summative assignments give a grade and a few comments
  • Formative assignments break larger projects into smaller required submissions
  • More extensive comments allow students to improve their work on next submissions
  • If student work does not meet your threshold, return it for another try
  • Give the message that you will work with your students until they succeed

Contact

  • Be a lifeline to your students
  • They can e-mail you at any time with any question
  • Maintain a 24 hour turnaround time for student questions and student assignments
  • Check in with students who are struggling
