I experienced distance learning as an emergency in March of 2020, and as an option for my schooling in my senior year. I also had that option during my freshman year of college, and am currently enrolled in one E-course, which has been offered at FSU before COVID. I have liked the freedom of creating my own schedule and being able to teach myself in a way that works for me, but these I also consider a downside. When I am a teacher, I want to give distance learners ample options to virtually meet privately with me if they find they are struggling with the distance.
Open Educational Resources are tools for learning that any teacher can retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute, following the guidelines of the creator. The article 10 Open Educational Resources You Should Know About by Marianne Stenger provides some valuable examples that can be used as a student and a teacher. One I have used is Khan Academy, which I used on my own and as instructed by teachers to supplement classroom learning. I am not familiar with the rest included on this list, but the one I feel is most relevant to me is OpenStax, which provides free textbooks to help college students.
I will update this blog post when I complete the PowerPoint assignments.
