Skill: Navigate 2.1.2 – Recorded Session Quest

Discuss the experiences with this quest and the process of recording a session. Was the task easy? Challenging? Did the process present problems? Document the responses and general reflections on synchronous learning and the recorded session in your blog.

I currently teach for GaVS and use Adobe Connect each week for my synchronous sessions, I have attached a couple of past posts.



I think the most difficult part of synchronous sessions is feeling lonely   Many of my students take online classes because their schedules are so varied.  Having a synchronous session that students can commit to come to is hard. I usually have success with student’s participation when I am reviewing for the final exam. Other times attendance tends to be low and lonely.  teaching requires more that just lecturing - it requires a dialogue between teacher and student for contest checking of information. When I am recording sessions, and no one is present I try and anticipate questions that students might have. But often I feel funny asking a question I know the answer to.


Adobe connect is fairly easy to use, the thing I dislike about it is when you have more than one person using the microphone, there can be some feedback issues, so most students just type questions in the chat box.
