Online Class Monitoring Services And Organizational Leadership

This leadership course and the OTD program re-shaped my philosophy of leadership and my desire to active practice leadership. I have always know that I have some leadership traits and qualities, and I have been holding a leader position most of the time before I came to United States. I lost my “ambition” when I getting older, and being through hardships. This course made me learn and reflex on myself, the environment around me, and the occupations I have. According to the Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) model (Law et al.'s (1996), I can achieve my optimal occupation performance by the best fit of these three interplaying components.

Daily progress monitoring will allow teachers to see students’ level of performance, and determine if modifications should be done.

Enhancing meaningful learning by integrating technology into instructional design is central to this project. The most influential theory associated with this process is the cognitive theory of multimedia learning proposed by Mayer (1997). It is based on the theory that humans have two ways or “channels” of processing information, auditory, and visual, otherwise known as the dual channel assumption. By leveraging both of these means, and by building both of these connections between multiple representations of the same information meaningful learning is more likely to occur

In this lesson we watched a video about elephant slaughter and how people sale the Ivory illegally, and for a high price. Ivory is not only beautiful in its own nature but it is very expensive. But unfortunately if we don't stop killing elephants for their ivory they will be extinct in the next 10 years. We also read an article about the same topic, each one has different information about the same topic. The video helps you visualize the article, and the article gives you more information about the video. Multimedia has both pros and cons but both have all the information on the topic. There are advantages and disadvantage to both the video and article.

In support of the Kolb learning cycle, I employ the principles of Mayer’s Multimedia Cognitive Theory (2014) and provide my students with a wide variety of resources that support the fourth grade curriculum. According to Mayer (2015), students learn better with multimedia messages designed to reflect the workings of the human mind. The theory is based on 3 principles: 1) we receive messages best when they are delivered through two channels (audio/visual), 2) each of these channels has a limited capacity for delivery, and 3) learning is a process that takes place through filtering, organization, integration of knowledge based on prior knowledge.

There is a lack of literature that integrates these rather isolated perspectives, especially in the field of education. In addition, even though certain studies touched upon the perspective of social background, they lack empirical examination of its psychometric qualities (Cassell et al., 2006). This study was initiated with a vision to develop a more applicable model to explain online leadership development and bear educational implications to teachers and learners who are involved in online learning environments.

Their tuition reimbursement is better-than-most and the provided access to online learning as well. There is a leadership development program that is offered to a select few. Those that are afforded this development opportunity are assigned a mentor, put through intense leadership courses and coached to develop their leadership skills. For the remaining stakeholders, there are occasional leadership and development classes offered.

First, online classes require a large about of dedication and self-motivation that isn’t apparent beforehand. Because there isn’t a classroom to keep students focuses or teachers making sure students are getting things done on time, students must rely on themselves to constantly check due dates and watch for new assignments. Something that is harder than expected — one study of over a thousand online students by

It is a fact that focusing only on skills and produce managers instead of leaders is a major obstacle with standard leadership courses. Indeed, the leadership characters and criteria cannot be taught or given in a regular way. But, they must be learned.

To most people, leadership and management are used interchangeably. The roles and skills of leadership and management, however, are distinctively different. Kotter (2012) states that unlike management that is responsible for carrying out changes within systems, leadership on the other hand, “builds systems or transforms old ones…takes you into territory that is new and less well known, or completely unknown to you” (Location 36. para 1). This is notable with leadership in the field of distance education.

Various means have been used to make learning easier for students, since it has been discovered that learning with texts only causes boredom to students. Thus, the implementation of multimedia adds interest and livens up the lessons.

The above question is answerable according to the researcher’s expertise, time and resources. Hollis (1995) states “through this study I hoped to find that multimedia technology would be conduit that my students needed to acquire new knowledge, develop new concepts, and express strong understanding” (p. 2). As an educator of 24 years, the teacher

Today’s students are more tech-savvy than ever before. “It’s almost like they are programed to learn differently than traditional past methods” (Wainwright, 2015). Having technology in the classroom does not necessarily replace a great teacher, but a combination of a great teacher and a classroom with technology usage can result in great education. “It is important to intergrade technology in the classroom since it has become so integral to the world outside of the classroom and todays students are accustomed to in” (Wainwright, 2015). Since most of our students coming into our classroom have had technology in their hands since they were very young, it is only natural that we as teachers must continue the use of allowing technology in our classrooms to keep our students engaged in what we are teaching. “When we’re engaged in something, we do better at it. That’s as true of learning as it is anything else: an engaged student is more likely to learn and succeed than a disengaged one” (Teacherkit, 2015). According to Visual Teaching Alliance, 70% of the population is visual learners which explain why our students in our classrooms prefer to learn through pictures and video verses words and speech. Describing things in words isn’t always a very effective method to teaching our today students; however, adding video clips to explain concepts creates a much clearer picture for our students and is more entertaining. Our students are social and love being a part of a

Digital media has had a large influence on the field of education. Two examples of this can be seen in the way it has changed the way students are able to express themselves and the way it has enabled more collaboration between teams. Before digital media, an educator or student’s presentation on a subject might consist of a lecture, a report, a poster board or something else along those lines. The “elaborate” ones might include photos and/or graphs. However, digital media brought a lot of change to these options. An educator or student doing a presentation has the option of PowerPoint presentations, videos, slideshows, creating web pages and so much more. Not only does a person involved in education get an opportunity to express themselves better and in a more personalized fashion, the amount of information that can be shared is greatly increased. A student or educator can fully delve into a topic and make it come alive for her/his audience while educating them.

A teaching content of a subject varies in nature therefore; it can be best presented by employing various media of communication. Moreover it facilitates the individual variation of the learner. Now multimedia package of learning are developed.
