Positive Learning Experience–Describe an experience in which you were able to learn effectively. What challenges arose (if any)? What was your response to those challenges? What factors led to this being a positive, successful experience? Analyze the strategies that you used in this learning experience. Why do you think that certain strategies were effective, while others were not?

The first thing I want to talk about is the assignments that I have had in the class. During this course we are given assignments to post onto the discussion board, which I believe is excellent, because this allows you to see how the students around you approach the situation. This does not necessarily mean they look at others work in order to copy, but instead it gives students who might not be able to comprehend as easily, a chance to be given examples by their own peers. It also gives great comfort that the teacher of this course does not for little effort, but she takes the time to read over it and give her correction so that the students can apply with the future assignments to come. Our first assignment that was given to us was a mere introduction about who we were, what we do, and what our plans were for the future. This, to me, was a sign that let me know

d. I needed to find the problems and solutions being used in other countries. I watched videos about improving our society. After that, I made decisions and asked friend’s opinion whether my ideas were good or not.

Online education is well established as a viable means of education in both the corporate and academic environments, and it has taken a remarkable pace. A survey undertaken in 2001 of online education instructors conducted by the National Education Association (NEA) indicated that 72% of online learning instructors have a positive opinion about online learning. They believe more students can be reached, learning can be customized and flexible, and interaction can increase among students (Focus, 2001).

2. Discuss how this course has affected you in your professional development as a student and as a person as well as encouraging you on your academic path.

I learned so much from the reading information that was given to us over the span this course. Everything that I received is so wonderful and exciting, but because of the mass information, I did feel a little overwhelmed. All of the information on mini lessons and guided reading was so valuable because I did not know much about it, but this course and the information provided really simplified it for me. I also really appreciate the information on the reading strategies, particularly the first paper on strategies that work, because again, it simplifies the concepts for me. That combined with the 12 systems of strategic action sheet are wonderful tools that taught me so much about strategies. In all honesty, I learned a lot in this

2. Considering what you have learned throughout this course, what were the strengths and weaknesses of your original proposal? (2 paragraphs)

Another important part of this course I found very helpful was learning to unpack standards. Many of the learning standards implemented in my classroom are full of material that I find difficult to manage. By unpacking these standards, I am now able to focus more specifically on certain objectives and

exploring the perceptions of experienced and novice online learners. Centered on the idea that students who have taken several courses would have different perceptions than those students who had only taken a couple of online courses. More than three thousand online learners participated in a survey regarding student success, developed from the Quality Matters rubric. The results suggest a difference in student perceptions based on their limited or greater levels of experience in the online environment. Students with little experience focused on different expectations than experienced online students. And vice versa, experienced learners had factors associated with online learning that were more important to them. Experienced learners

One of the chief drawing cards for me that draw me to take online classes was the ability to ask questions and interact in learning with the teacher without fear of classmate making fun of me because of my speech pattern or being shy asking question. I can ask and obtain the solution right away without facing the teacher. In addition, I have the ability to go rearward to a lecture and review it several times online and this is really helpful because my difficulty some time understanding what is being said since the English is my second language.

Effective features of online learning students include internal locus control, self-directedness, learning styles, motivation, and other character traits. Research displays that the adult learners enrolled in online programs tend to have strong internal locus control than that of students in traditional in-residence learning programs. Furthermore, online learning adult learners are self-directed, and are driven by personal interests and desire to succeed. Most studies indicate that online learners tend to be highly motivated in the pursuit of their courses (Barnett, 2010). They face learning from a visionary perspective, knowing that their efforts will reap fruits of their labor.

Firstly, to talk about why I have taken this course and how this course have transformed me by the end of the course is incredible and amazing. To be frank when I was taking this course the only expectation for me on this course is to learn how to interact with people because I am poor on it. But what this course has provided me is great and it has transformed me into an enter new person all together. Right from the beginning of the course the materials and handouts that were provided were intuitive and all of them makes the student get involved in the concepts.

With all the things that have helped me in this course and all the things that I have learned in this course, there are things that were brought to my awareness that I needed to improve on for instance, procrastination. I find
