27.5.2013 Monday Module-2 Week 2 Reflection 2 INSTRUCTORS' BIOGRAPHY & SYLLABUS FOR ONLINE TEACHING This week i really found more interactive as we got a chance to read each other's biography which highly motivates me a young academician that i still have to go miles in my career . Interestingly knowing about your peers academic and professional life is a good approach to break the ice among students. although i am used to with this but still not having a formal confirmation to this , i always hesitant to talk about the personal life in class formally.  Learning how to develop instructor's biography was a good exercise.

Module 2- Week1 Reflection1  21.5.2013 My Reflection on this Module 2  starts with that i like this online course, my writing skills in terms of Assignments, Discussions and now reflective writing is improving from the previous. Know i started reading as many as articles/papers come across me, i started enjoying reading again and also participate in discussion. using online tools differently or similar as in F2F is very thoughtful and difficult , until you don't know the kind of learners and their choices. As mentioned in my previous module, i am using online teaching in discussion mode occasionally with my current learners, we are still in F2F mode. but, definitely i'll enjoy working as a full time online learner.I am confident as this course helps me in reflecting as a student on the various good and bad of using learning online. I feel , i have few resources and knowledge requires for becoming an online instructor but more will be need to acquire, which hopefully i...
