Instructor’s Corner: Nonverbal Immediacy Behaviors and Online Student Engagement

Instructor’s Corner: Nonverbal Immediacy Behaviors and Online Student Engagement | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
Marcia D. Dixson of Indiana University-Purdue University and a team of researchers conducted a study to learn more about the types of immediacy behaviors instructors should use to enhance their students’ learning.
Dennis Swender's insight:
The responses that facilitators make to individual  participants reveal a feeling tone of acceptance, encouragement, dismissal, and the like.  Participants quickly pick up on the frequency of instructor responses to individuals, the quantity of the individual responses, whether the participant response is affirmed or simply acknowledged, whether the response is genuine or general.  
 
This is where participant demographics of race, gender, age, academic level, etc. may inadvertently be assumed to play a biased role to favor some participants more than others.  
 
Consequently, could it sometimes help for all participants, including the facilitator, to maintain some degree of online demographic privacy - at least until the end of a course?  Or, are participant identities an important asset in responding to different perspectives?

"According to a survey conducted in the summer of 2017 by InformationWeek and Interop ITX, 64 percent of IT organizations say that facing a lack of the right IT skills is a moderate-to-major concern. In fact, 83 percent said that an IT skills gap delayed IT projects, and nearly a third said it resulted in poor quality projects." (Learning Solutions, 8 de mayo 2018)

Ashish Kumar's curator insight, May 8, 10:45 PM
Their is an urge to accept it to yourself that you could do a particulat task/procedure using a specific tool. Tools that are availaible like for video editing are never to be confused with instruments. The specifications and general flowchart or iternary that comes along with is only for refference purpouse and never more than that. Now the slot that gets decided as soon as you purchase the first app to edit your video acts only as supplement to the first needs of your video editing that you filled in while putting application for a particular or specific tool. Now after the purchase of tool let us anti-virus tool kit for example Quick Heal Anti-Virus, Anti-fishing and Anti-spamming tool kit. Now first thing that we have to be clear in our mind that the developer i.e. Quick Heal has under sun already has choosen that the Anti-Virus Software that comes along with the Quick Heal Tool Kit will specifically provide only a given solution that comes under the category of mentioned features. This also pre decide the level and specification of the user and also all the related services that comes under the umbrella which are in series with Quick Heal Tool Kit. Now from here a general introduction to video editing in which we could mention lenses which are reason for frame of video wether 80 mm or 8 mm. Does an tool could be made that releases a video within a structured frame that is prepared to resemble requisite heading of the video. Now such video if uploaded will come into exiquensential of a block in which it has got entrance on the basis of minimum requirement procurred after treating it with Tool Kit. Does or does not the further analysis of prepared video will prove it to be applicant in trading the phase two procedure after covering the block face. That tells the true value of Tool Kit.
