Student to Content Engagement
Student to Instructor Engagement
Student Engagement
There are three types of interaction in an online course: interaction between the student and the content, students' interaction with one another, and interaction between the student and the instructor. (Moore, 1993).
Educational content delivered through activities and information resources that help students interact with subject matter.
Content also refers to the overall organization and intrinsic motivation of the online components.
-
Content must be age and subject matter appropriate.
-
Content must offer a cognitive link to what students already know.
-
Students must be able to process the content (subject matter is learned, rehearsed and later retrieved).
-
Content is "making thinking visible": Require students to create, talk, write, explain, analyze, judge, report and inquire
Class interaction is as important online as it is in a traditional classroom.
Students are building social and professional communication skills to better prepare them for their adult careers. Students are also building meaning of new knowledge through consolidating their ideas, challenging beliefs and confirming opinions. Just like in a face-to-face classroom, it's difficult to have meaningful conversation with a large group. Small group work on the other hand, can be a fruitful way to achieve course goals and encourage design and planning, team leadership, time management and many other skills that lead to satisfying CPCC's mission of developing leaders in the workforce.
Instructor is prepared in their course with timely interaction, consistent evaluation and assessment that encourages student success. Instructors demonstrate working knowledge of differentiated instruction; developing unique online instruction that is meaningful to all students. Instructors model etiquette, support and course management that directly reflects the objectives designed for the students to learn their subject matter.
