Assignment 2: Personal Pedagogical Style
Although some may not be aware of it, all instructors have a personal pedagogical style. This is no different in the online classroom. In this Assignment, you begin analyzing and defining your own personal pedagogical style. This is an opportunity to explore your priorities as an instructor, decide what kind of instructor you want to be, and set goals for how you can most effectively serve your online students.
To Prepare:
Review the Adult Learning Theory Chart, the Video Interviews With Effective Online Instructors, and the Superior Online Instructor Infographic you created. Consider what you would like your personal pedagogical style to be.
By Day 3 of Week 2
Complete the following two parts:
Part A: Write a 500-word summary of what you learned in the Online Learning Theory chart and course resources that you reviewed this week. Using course readings and other online learning experiences, please describe your current beliefs and some assumed best practices that you have about online instruction.
Part B: To further illustrate your online learning best practices, then write a 500-word statement that describes the personal pedagogical style you would like to develop to best support your students in a virtual learning environment. Make sure the reader understands the connections between the theory and research you’ve read and your personal pedagogical style.
