Communication is important
to any successful organization. It is essential that the online instructor has
open communication with stakeholders.
These descriptions are very similar to traditional school
roles. They are what I expect from any learning environment. It is important to
know that all stakeholders play an important role in success of the student.
They are team that works together to help students.
The roles can be expanded on by setting clear expectations
of what the program expects for communication. The stakeholders can set goals
for success and reflect on these goals throughout the process. The goals could
be set by each stakeholder. A parent could set a goal to volunteer to work on a
newsletter committee or setting up on online chat for parents to socialize
about the online learning committee. A student can set a goal for a grade in
the class or to improve participation. A teacher can set goals to personalize
learning. Administrators can set up goals to support learning by offering
parent workshops or team building events. The options are endless, and all of
them can help promote a positive learning environment. Having expectations for
stakeholders also creates a community where everyone is working together.
I think it is also important to involve the community as
stakeholders. The students need to relate their learning to real world scenarios
and pulling in the community can help do this. The community can video chat
with students, offer tutoring programs, or give virtual field trips. This helps
the learners by promoting engagement in learning and the community by inspiring
future employees.
