Autonomy supportive learning supports positive learning outcomes.

I believe that incorporating several teaching modalities supports transfer of knowledge.

The assessment reminds me of psychogeometrics as well.

Each individual (instructor and student) plays different roles in the learning environment. As such, having a better understanding of an individual's traits will allow for individualized teaching and ensure the class meeting progresses in a positive manner.

Social media can certainly be useful; however, I always have my students look at the facts. Can what was found on social media be backed by research? Or is it more of an opinion piece? 

I hadn't used the 7 Principles for Learning since grad school -- I most appreciated your depiction of this from both the instructor's and the student's perspective. 

I learned many new things about participation and engagement.  I am especially interested in using the Exit Slip technique for after synchronouse class meeting. 

I learned quite a bit about Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation, and I found myself really appreciating the techniques instructors can use to keep students motivated.

In reflection, I feel we could do a better job at my institution of utilizing positive praise to keep people motivated. I think the staff and faculty gets caught up in supporting the students of need and those who are just doing the things can unintentionally get ignored. Those who need the most help don't always get the praise either, because people are so focused on just getting them the help. 

We have a PDF postcard for staff that we use to show praise and gratitude when a co-worker does something noteworthy. I am going to make a few versions… >>>

Online learning is a whole different mindset. It must be engaging and capture the students attention.
