My section of EME2040 is fully online asynchronous. I enjoy that the class is asynchronous because I get to complete assignments at my own pace which makes me stress out less. I dislike how specific every assignment is when it comes to the requirements for high pass. When I am a teacher, something I can do to improve the classroom experience is connect with my students and build relationships.
OER (open educational resources) are learning resources that anyone can access and use in a variety of ways. The article I found was created by Auburn University's Writing Department. The OER consists of material from the marketing college, communications college, and writing center. The resources are available to everyone and accessible to everyone, not just restricted to Auburn students.

By working on Assignment 4, I have developed many new skills to use on Microsoft PowerPoint such as transitions, new layouts, and the notes feature at the bottom on the slide. I liked this assignment because I never really get to use PowerPoint in my courses so I could sharpen my skills with this assignment. With the assignment, I disliked how broad the topic was and therefore it took me a while to decide which topic to teach. Next time I can pay more attention to detail and make my project better because there is always room for improvement
Hello!!!
ReplyDeleteI am also in a fully asynchronous class. I think I would enjoy class more in person, but it is nice being able to get my stuff done as soon as you want. As you said, being able to control your own pace is nice. It is especially nice to not have to go into a class this week. I'll be living in the library for the most part!
How do you plan on connecting with your students?
I like your definition of OER, and I really like the source you used! The writing department of a research oriented university is an excellent choice!
I was hard on the powerpoint assignment. Just like you, I did learn a lot. I especially like the notes feature, but I fear I may have included too many notes!
Hi Annelise! I agree with you about the high pass, I find it can be helpful to have detailed requirements but sometimes they seem a bit intense, but I like that you can use tokens if you miss something on the requirements and want a higher grade.
