5. Student-Instructor Interaction

Inclusion of filters from 'filter/kaltura/filter.php' using the 'filter_kaltura' class naming has been deprecated. Please rename your class to \filter_kaltura\text_filter and move it to 'filter/kaltura/classes/text_filter.php'. See MDL-82427 for more information.

As mentioned a few pages ago, interaction with a caring, attentive instructor is the most critical piece for student success and satisfaction in online courses. Student-instructor interaction encompasses many different actions, including daily and weekly communication, feedback, and other elements of establishing presence. We’ll get back to feedback later, but for now, here are other ways to build in student-instructor interaction in your course:

  • Respond to posts in the student help/Q&A forum within a set amount of time.
  • Build in helpful (and sometimes lively or surprising) feedback for auto-graded quizzes.
  • Pre-write weekly announcements and schedule them to go out on a regular schedule so that students can count on hearing from you.
  • Solicit and respond to mid-course feedback using a Moodle questionnaire.
