Five years ago, when I was trained to become Online Instructor for UMUC, one
of the papers I have to study and to debate with my colleagues was the wonderful
article Seven
Principles of Good Teaching Practice written by Dr. James W. King
from University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The principles are listed below:
- Encourage Student- Faculty Contact
- Encourage Cooperation Among Students
- Encourage Active Learning
- Give Prompt Feedback
- Emphasize Time on Task
- Communicate High Expectations
- Respect Diverse Talents and Ways of Learning.
See
new
adaptations of these principles and a
table
with these principles for traditional and online instruction.
Since then I have read and have written a lot of articles on this topic.
Two days ago I found a very clear article at
Xplanzine:
Parables on Learning - The Basic Principles by Rob Reynols:
- Ask questions
- Collect wisdom
- Don?t compartmentalize
- Be free
- Promote good character
- Be open and clear
- Have fun
- See abundance
- Embrace community
- Be spiritual
--I will extend this note, explaining how I apply all these principles in my online courses;
just to find a little time for this--
