Seek to Improve: Soliciting Feedback from Online Students

Posted by & filed under Online Teaching Resources.

priscilla-du-preez-7ilpPBxTavU-unsplashLike a fine wine, online courses improve over time. With each new run of the course, an instructor is informed by what went well (and what maybe didn’t go so well) the term before. This creates efficiencies for the instructor (i.e. maybe adding in a frequently asked question into the syllabus or course start documentation to decrease the amount of emails about it) and also improves the experience for the students (i.e. maybe the instructor sees how assigning two essays back-to-back wasn’t the fairest thing to do).

The best online instructors are striving to continually improve their teaching style and their course structure, and one of the best ways to do this is to solicit continual feedback from students. This goes beyond the traditional end-of-term, university-administered course evaluation and aims to collect more detailed and practical information from students. Students themselves will also appreciate the personal (vs. standardized) approach here. But what to ask?

Terada (2020), in a web article titled 5 Research-Backed Tips to Improve Your Online Teaching Presence (para.19), listed six straight-forward, course-improving questions to ask your online students. I will share them below as suggestions you may want to consider as you endeavor to continually hone your own online teaching skills.

  1. On a scale from 1 to 5, how comfortable do you feel using technology in our virtual classroom?
  2. Have you encountered any technical issues, such as not being able to hear me, or not being able to connect to the internet?
  3. Are my lessons well-organized and my assignments clear?
  4. Can you easily find what you need?⁣
  5. Do you feel like your voice is heard?
  6. What can I do to improve our online classroom?

For the job seeker:

Information like this is helpful for folks who are already teaching online. But how is knowing how to solicit feedback from online students helpful to the online teaching job seeker? That’s a very good question.

In OnRamp, our course that helps you improve your online teaching job application materials, we talk a lot about how developing your skills as an online instructor, understanding the unique needs of the adult online learner, and continually adding to/adjusting your teaching philosophy is a vital step to presenting yourself knowledgeably, confidently, and competently in a cover letter, objective statement, Teaching Philosophy, and during the interview process. My advice is to always collect tidbits like this – you might add something about the importance of soliciting student feedback in your Teaching Philosophy or you might discuss how you aim to be flexible and student-centered in this way during an interview. A school will appreciate how much you value student input in your work!

Online Education: Areas of and for Research

Posted by & filed under Online Teaching Resources.

you-x-ventures-m2TU2gfqSeE-unsplashHello everyone! Hope you are doing well. A friend of mine and I recently completed a book chapter on anxiety and vulnerability in online students and how, as online instructors, it is part and parcel of our job to help ease (vs. exacerbate or contribute to) this anxiety. Digging into the current distance education research for this project yielded some fascinating insights and it got me thinking – where have distance education researchers focused their efforts over the years? What stones are left unturned for future social scientists to explore?

I found some of the answers to these questions in a 2020 article by Martin et al. titled A Systematic Review of Research on Online Teaching and Learning from 2009 to 2018. In it, these authors uncovered the top two main themes of online learning research, which include several consistent sub-themes:

Learner

  • Engagement: These studies include examinations of student presence, interaction, the sense of community in the classroom, participation, and communication.
  • Learning Characteristics: Studies of learner characteristics focused on self-regulation, motivations, and academic, affective, cognitive, and demographic characteristics of students.
  • Learner Outcome: These investigations tended to emphasize distance student enrollment, retention (dropout vs. completion), and learner success in the course.

Course and Instructor

  • Evaluation: These studies look into how success is measured in the online classroom and what throughout-course and end-of-course surveys suggest.
  • Course Technologies: Investigators looking into course technologies ask questions regarding the use and effectiveness of and response to a school’s chosen LMS, online textbooks, audiovisual aides, collaborative learning tools, and social networking platforms.
  • Assessment/Facilitation: This category represents studies that explore online exams, peer feedback, proctoring, and the use of other less-traditional assignments. They also look at the myriad ways instructors deliver information in the distance learning environment.
  • Design & Development: These investigations home in on how online courses are created, including the instructional design process and what design elements are considered the most important to the success of an online class.
  • Instructor Characteristics: “Some of the studies in this theme were on motivation and experiences of online instructors, ability to perform online teaching duties, roles of online instructors, and adjunct versus full-time online instructors” (para. 53).

Martin et al. (2020) report that the results of their systemic review largely echo others in previous decades, suggesting that – to some extent – we are continuing to measure, assess, and research the same things. And this is certainly not a “bad thing” as trends in the above themes can change over time and this would be important to know. However, it also suggests that there are some areas that have yet to be fully investigated. They identified organizational themes as an area that requires more scientific investigation. According to the authors,

There is a need for organizational level topics such as Access, Culture, Equity, Inclusion and Ethics, and Leadership, Policy and Management to be researched on within the context of online learning. Examination of access, culture, equity, inclusion and ethics is very important to support diverse online learners, particularly with the rapid expansion of online learning across all educational levels (para. 62).

It will be exciting to see what 2021 brings the distance education research community, especially as we begin to focus more on organization- (or school-) related topics, and how those recommendations trickle down to the online students who most benefit from them.
