Teaching with Technology

Interaction enhance the learning experience;
In the articles I have referenced, there were no specific techniques to foster student participation. Nonetheless, one important element in the article that stood out more than the others that affected student participation was the importance of the teacher feedback. The article presented that “instructors need to provide students with timely feedback to keep them engaged in the learning”. This is especially important in the distant learning environment.
The instructor’s timely feedback enhances the “presence” of the teacher in the mind of the students which encourages their participation.

Clearly the needed interaction between instructor and learner is very taxing and time consuming and instructors should have assistance in their interaction with their students.
