My e-Teaching Philosophy

Published by at 2:27 pm under Foundations of Educational Technology

Although I am not a teacher by profession, I have conducted product trainings online and plan to offer customized training in the future on various educational technologies.

My e-teaching philosophy is –

  • Design my courses with a sharp focus on learning competencies and ensure the learners understand what they are and how to achieve them.
  • Use blended teaching approach – Leverage synchronous technologies like webinars, online meetings to add face/voice to a name and ensure periodic learner feedback (taking cues from communication theory and ensuring the messages are understood properly by all learners)
  • Facilitate online workshops and discussions to provide guidance and build initial momentum. I believe its important for the instructor to take initiative and kick start the initial discussions so that the learners are motivated and actively participate.
  • Use assessment techniques appropriate for the competency to be assessed.
  • Have fun with the learners!
