I was not familiar about this course before I join to this course. I took courses on how to create online couses at San Francisco State before the pandemic. I was teaching online courses during the covid19 pandemic. I was more interested to learn the best techniques to engage students in the longer version of the online class. In the summer semester I had to teach 4 hours online class. It was challenging to keep students engaged for this long period of time.
I learned so much in the Academy. What was most important , to me, was witnessing the way that Humanizing has been creating awareness among the educator. I appreciate how the developers and facilitators of this course tactfully added a lot of contents delicately.
My plan is to create many of my existing asynchronous videos with ones made in Adobe Spark, to make the contents more brief for the students and make things clearer. I will also put more attention on building community and getting students to interact with video and audio early on in the semester, hoping their interest and involvement will carry on through the semester.
