Sustanining student success
Discussion
Most of our students are adults. In this course, we based our guidelines for coaching on Knowles's principles of andragogy. Andragogy studies how adults learn, as contrasted with pedagogy which studies how children learn. How to you respond to the proposition that treating your students as adults should increase student success?
A perennial problem in online classes is students who are not ready for online learning. They may not have the technology needed, the technical skills or the time management skills (among other lacks). How should colleges address this problem? What do you think of our Readiness Survey?
What media do you allow students to use when submiting projects? Can they get credit for video, audio, graphics files, for example? Why or why not?

Emotional readiness
Existing knowledge
Apply Andragogy
Andragogy makes the following assumptions about the design of learning:
(1) Adults need to know why they need to learn something
(2) Adults need to learn experientially,
(3) Adults approach learning as problem-solving, and
(4) Adults learn best when the topic is of immediate value.
Motivating
Evaluate and share
Evaluate if students know enough to go forward, Share why you are excited by the subject, Apply andragogy, act as coach, stimulate positive emotions, provide clear guidance, give positive feedback, encourage good work, praise good interaction with other students, stress academic integrity, using scaffolding and modeling, build on brain-based learning systems, listen to student feedback
Invoke the emotional learning system.
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation
Our focus here is Stage 2 Teaching and Learning
Brain-based learning systems
Using your lesson outline or your lesson chart, label each part of the lesson as to the Theater of the Mind in which it belongs. If there are missing theaters, write suggestions for ways to include them in an online course.
Modes of Learning
Given one of the objectives you have already written, write a paragraph explaining how you could use Modes of Learning to teach that objective, progressing from short term memory to integrating the learning into long term mental schemas.
You have advanced education in a subject other than education. Reflect on that. Have you achieved a state of Reflective Competence?
For each of the online learning system tools listed below, place your self in the Competency Matrix.
Andragogy (explain why)
For two objectives, write a brief summary explaining to your adult learners why they should master each objective.

Creating Personas
The persona of the instrutor is the instructor that exists in the mind of the student in an online course. This instructior persona is built up based on the introductions, texts, documents, media, feedback, assessments, interaction, interventions, and other elemnets presented online by the actual instructor. This persona may be like or unlike the actual instructor if encounterd face-to-face.
Whether the instructor consciously crafts an online persona or not, the instructor needs to be where that such a persona is always created in the students's minds.
In order to "just be yourself" online, you must make choices that let your self be revealed online.
