Hearing and Visual learning style

It is better to include in our learning style some written information, diagrams, pictures and imagination these elements make class interesting for student to learn any kind of information especially when the class include discussions and conversations between the teacher and learner but in order the communication be effective (the student will need to know how to respond in class or to post responses in the correct forum and ask question)(text,p170)

describe your own learning styles. In order to help yourself better function in an online course (e.g. this course), what would you keep or change in terms of the course design and your participation style/pattern?

I like to see and listen to the lecture at the same time in any course and take a part of the class by asking question, I tried to do my best in any class by taking outline and highlight any important information from the book. I prefer to read the chapter that we are going to take before the lecture start. During the lecture if I face any kind of not clear information, I always write down what I miss understand then at the end of the lecture I will ask my teacher what did I misunderstand from the lecture and let my teacher explain to me. When I study new information I ask myself where I can use this kind of information and try imagine how could I implement this kind of information in my life by using my imagination Some time in any of my on line class I have problem with the voice and picture because of the internet speed. I always try to find a solution and try to communicate with my teacher and formed them that I have a problem. I don’t like some program that has a lot of requirement for example like down loud certain program some time the computer that I have does not except this kind of the program. Then there are programs that require having headset and phone in order listen to the lecture like( dimdim ) this kind of program I did not prefer because of that requirement thing I like to listen to my lecture without having any distraction . I like the program that has the recording tools that mean I can go back to the lecture and listen over and over to the lecture.

Classroom management

It is not easy to manage online class or normal class. It require a lot of knowledge from the teacher. I will try to mange my lecture during the class time and give them all the information they need. Answer all student questions .in my online class i will ask my student several question that related to the lecture. Also, I will try to control my student behavior in the class by let them do many kind of activity like answer my question ,give me there comment and advice. I will communicate wit my student by using e mail ,give them syllabus , survey and using any chat program

List one specific learning objective you want to include in your online course and describe how you would design your class activities using one or multiple instructional strategies (e.g. problem centered learning, simulation, decision-making panels, class discussion, case studies, group discussion, tutorial, written exercises, reading, instructional gaming, exploration) to help your students meet the learning objective?

I would like to teach my student how to communicate with each other in effective way. during the online class time. I would like my student to generate there idea about the subject that they are taking and try to develop their skills I will give them all what they need like the syllabus, schedule ,show them grating system, home work assignments and chatting links for my class. The grading system will depend on each student work on this class and how he or she can done their work in perfect way. Each session is worth amount of points. Each student has to submit their work before the due date. This on line class will include information that I will create for this course that has all the information policy for turning over their assignment. Also I will create format that each student have to fallow it for each session. There will be lest of home work that I will create that student have to answer it after they read the format and question of the home work. Everything that I have talked about so far , each student submit their home work has to comment on other friend in effective way . also i will make my student e mail me if they have any question.
