I prefer student-centered andragogy in the courses I teach, especially in online environments. As a long-time online student, I draw upon my experiences in online courses, as well as the many conversations with my program peers. Where did we find our courses lacking? What do we wish our instructors had implemented in courses? What constituted a 'good' instructor? Throughout the semester, I compare my performance as an instructor against these questions. • Completed TCSG Mandated Blackboard Training in December 2018• 1-2 courses a semester in online and hybrid environments • Actively applied principles learned in my M.Ed to both classroom and online learning environments• Offered weekly 'Open Office' Blackboard Collaborate sessions for students to come in and ask questions or for demonstrations• Diligently monitored student participation to identify at-risk students• Worked with at-risk students to develop plans for success and accommodate extenuating circumstances to increase student retention• Identified high-achieving students and encouraged them to apply for scholarships, providing advice on how to build successful applications• Maintained an up-to-date grade book, never allowing assignments to go more than a week ungraded• Carefully tracked academic calendar to ensure no-shows and withdraws were processed in a timely manner• Scheduled announcements to release at the start of each module to overview the module topics and detail each assignment expected • Periodically polled students to find out what they would like from the course: More live interaction?
