solving assignment cognitive skill performance.

The performance status of the mentor: current standing as a professional distance

educator

Experience with distance education

Online background with technology experience where the focus is on the learning

objectives. Therefore, continue education with Masters of Adult education.

How many years has he/she been in distance education?

This will depend on one’s background if one was an online student then the transition

will be a balance and a program focus.

How many classes have been taught successfully?


Two successful class can give a clear picture of the individual performance with student’s

survey feedbacks that offers positive and proposal values. Meaning the needed to make changes

on certain areas of one class Syllabus.

What is his/her criteria of success?

Students feedback that are engaging adding the course training evaluations around the

Instructors establishing presents, and sharing any reflective course material. Not all needs to be

one side as in positive, because there needs to be room to show where there may need to be some

improvement if so needed.

Mentoring experience criteria: Must the mentor have had prior experience?

This could go with yes having prior experience and no for that open mind sharing centered on

making changes with a difference and a different outlook.

Management and evaluation programs for facilitators

The management and evaluation programs should be with different goals plan set around not

leaving the facilitator without some form of support or support team. Also, there should be

created meetings to discuss one’s career path in the field of teaching, to check for burn out or

overwhelming reasons to one performance if feedback is not up to standards.

and instruction preparing for each learning class.

distance.

Not establishing presents and the students gets frustrated with not knowing what to expect.

Grading off personal feelings and not rubric and the student gets upset with not enough feedback

information. Not knowledgeable or experience with the software or online classes. Not knowing

how to get constructive feedback the student taking what was written personally and one not

knowing how to control or solve what is wrong. Writing out of context not understanding useful

words that participate in positive reaction.

What evaluation strategies will you use for facilitators?

Staying professionally, and understanding that feelings get hurt with written words. Therefore,

carefully evaluate and analyze before sending any message. Having understanding, caring will

help with the selective written tone. “Transmitting of the same information to all learners in the

same way, the model puts students at the center and empowers them to take control of their own

learning by providing flexibility on several dimensions.( Learning: Engage and Empower, 2016)”

How will the evaluation and management strategies align with the identification of effective

faculty skills and behaviors in Part I?

Stating the goals and objectives and having understanding. “A core set of standards-based

concepts and competencies form the basis of what all students should learn, but beyond that

students and educators have options for engaging in learning: large groups, small groups, and

activities tailored to individual goals, needs, and interests. (Learning: Engage and Empower,

2016.)”


Learning platform (LMS/CMS) used by the distance learning faculty for facilitating their

classes

E-learning is online education with Internet usage to process class work and assignments.

“Course management systems are narrower in scope. That is, this system focuses on the

management and distribution of eLearning and instructor led courses. To put it another

way, course management is often the main function of an LMS – a secure place to store

and launch training to a subset of users. In some respect, you can attribute metrics to a

course management system, but that isn’t a requirement. A course management system

also has less need to be SCORM compliant.

An LMS on the other hand encompasses course management, but is more robust in that it

often implies a subset of learning standards (i.e. SCORM) for reporting purposes, and

lately has started to include learning that takes place outside of a computing environment.

An LMS can assist in the learning strategy as it relates to improving performance. A

course management system is less dynamic, more or less offering a secure database.

(Course Management System Vs Learning Management, 2016)”

Identify processes facilitators will use to do the following:

Present information, such as lectures or videos

Lectures are for ground schooling that can be educating if one understand the audience to have the

information with a creative balance. Video is the same with staying creative and not boring

because of the short attention that some students may have with learning.


Conduct class discussions

Class discussion is for grading scale of the students learning habit, and performance.

Conduct private discussions

Private message for individual support where one want to stay within the path of not causing

issues if a question is about that student or not understanding the course.

Receive assignments

Govern class work that is schedule to help the student achieve the course goals.

Provide assignment feedback and grades

Feedback that stays within positive and constructive build the student’s motivation.

Include at least three different technology or media tools that engage and enhance student

learning, such as the following:

Audio

Audio for assignment sharing.

Visuals and infographics

This is a great tool for assignment.

Video

The PowerPoint participation sharing.

Part IV – Issues and Classroom Management


A minimum of three different technology tools for student collaboration, such as the

following:

The classroom learning platform to be used

Skype is with the new generation of communication and with online distance learning

this can be authentic with its use and presentation communication. The same with, Apple®

FaceTime®, and the Mobile computing Smartphone use as tools for the new ways to send

assignments, and participate individually or with Team assignments.

In conclusion, created training manual is for entertainer, or a facilitator program is

learning about the students and will be needed for the outcome. Therefore, it is having the

understanding skill, experience, and knowledge to strengthen the area of distance learning and

create a balance.
