Online Learning
As a student of online learning and having earned a Master in Higher Education online, I have a unique position. I understand online learning from the students perspective and also as an instructor. This allows me to give clients the best of both worlds.
From Surviving Online Group Projects:
The reality of online group projects (OGP) is that they can be extremely frustrating and stressful. However, they are a necessary evil, if you will, when they are part of an online college’s curriculum. The goal of this presentation is to first educate students on the benefit of OGP’s in the hope that they find value in them, regardless of how challenging they may be. Secondly, it is important to inform online instructors of how stressful OGP’s can be from the student’s perspective.
Thirdly, illustrate common problems and provide practical advice, not just textbook theories. Additionally, prepare students for the actual reality of OGP’s and what to expect. Finally, explain two types of group members, hitchhikers and couch potatoes, and give practical dos and don’ts when dealing with them. Overall, while OGP’s can be overwhelming, it is my intention to give students the tools they need to be able to reach the learning outcome of OGP’s and still keep their sanity
