Description
Online education once had the reputation of being lifeless. One of the common beliefs about distance education to date is that; it is an online platform where students study the content presented to them with little to no interaction with the instructor or fellow students.
Online education has evolved over the years. Most fully online courses these days include some number of community building activities such as discussion forums and teamwork to help foster student-to-student learning. However, despite these efforts, students tend to complain about the lack of instructor presence in asynchronous courses.
Most online instructors communicate with students via assignment feedback, discussion responses or email. However, receiving only written communication from faculty can contribute to students feeling stranded in an online course.
In order to tackle that problem, Dr. Lynda Harkins, graduate faculty in the Department of Respiratory Care, uses video announcements to increase her presence in the online course to keep the students engaged and motivated throughout the semester.
In 3-5 minute-long weekly video announcements, Dr. Harkins discusses themes that are current and relevant to that specific week. She touches on topics such as weekly homework, upcoming events/assignments, clarifications about the syllabus etc. She also tries to keep the conversation really customized to her class by recognizing students and mentioning their names in the context of outstanding performance on an assignment. Dr. Harkins uses these videos to talk to students about her life’s occurrences which helps her create better relationship with her students.
In her after-class survey, a student left a comments saying that “The support and guidance provided by the instructor via weekly announcements was very helpful.”
Recommended Software
Any video recording software could be used to record weekly video announcements. Texas State supports TechSmith Relay and Zoom, both of which can be used to record videos with screen share if desired. Other options include Window’s Movie Creator, Mac’s Photobooth, and the Recording tab available in PowerPoint (formerly Microsoft Mix).
Once the video is produced it can be uploaded on the Mediaflo video streaming server. The link to this video can then be included in the course site announcement.
FERPA Implications
Faculty who wish to implement this strategy in their online classes must make sure to avoid reusing announcements from another semester. This is to make sure that the information in the video is always current. This practice also keeps faculty from having any FERPA violations.
Faculty should also be aware of the need to provide a transcript or closed captions for students with hearing impairments. Mediaflo includes a voice recognition solution for adding closed captions to a video recording that can save time in addressing this requirement.
Here is an example of one of Dr. Harkins’ video announcements:

Additional application: Faculty could adopt a similar strategy to provide video/audio feedback to individual students via Assignments.
It primarily targets the triceps, but additionally closely engages the shoulders and
chest, offering a full upper physique workout. The ability to deal with a heavier load than most arm isolation workouts makes it notably effective for increasing absolute power and stimulating muscle progress.
The trick is, when you’ve the specific goal of building bigger arms, you need to strategy your arm
exercises with the identical fervour as your compound workouts.
Fight for progress on your curls and extensions, not just your presses and pulls.
This means approaching every exercise with a plan, writing down what you’re lifting,
and trying to outlift your self next exercise.
In reality, things like inverted rows, chin-ups, pull-ups,
dips, push-ups, lunges, and so on. are all fantastic workouts to help you put on muscle.
When you exceed your muscle-building capacity, those further energy are saved as physique fat, not as muscle – which
isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There will likely at all times be SOME fat placed on whilst
you bulk – it won’t be one hundred pc muscle even for folks like skilled bodybuilders with nice genetics.
Some individuals will bulk up a lot faster by overeating more
energy than this, however we don’t recommend it.
Your body has a restrict to how a lot muscle it can naturally construct each week.
I realized that gyms are not a requirement for building muscle and getting stronger, although a great fitness center
exercise can certainly velocity up the process. A main drawback of free workout routines is
that the majority exercisers use far an extreme quantity of weight.
Bear In Mind to go heavy, as you don’t necessarily need to walk very
far to get the benefits of this motion. The brachioradialis is a
long muscle that runs from deep within your upper arm to the middle of your forearm.
A well-developed brachioradialis will assist make the thickest a
part of your forearm actually pop, adding to
your aesthetic. To help you in your quest for tighter sleeves,
we’ve cultivated a list of one of the best exercises for more impressive arms.
Nonetheless, prior to exploring optimum Arm-growth exercises,
understanding Arm anatomy is essential to successfully prepare
them for development. Dumbbells also facilitate unilateral training, allowing you to work one arm at a time.
Drop sets are another great method to add muscle mass and improve dimension. You want to full
10 reps and have the ability to take action with 15-pound dumbbells.
If you discover that is simple to do for three units, attempt the curls with 17.5- or 20-pound weights.
To perform this movement successfully you wish to let the barbell roll to the information of your
fingers on the eccentric portion after which to a totally grasped
place on the concentric. To get probably the most out of this workouts it’s greatest to target the gradual twitch
fibres and give attention to sluggish eccentrics.
Your tempo ought to subsequently be 1 second
to curl the weight, a 1 second squeeze on the high,
3-4 seconds reducing the load and no pause at the bottom.
The prolonged eccentrics are essential because the brachioradialis
is primarily made up of gradual twitch muscle fibres so will take longer
to fatigue.
The forearms already deal with heavy loads which will goal
the fast twitch fibres more, so once more sluggish eccentrics are the means in which to go along with this
train. This will goal the often neglected lengthy head of the tricep which is primarily active throughout shoulder flexion (arms raised).
The more emphasis on an overhead place the higher the stretch to the
lengthy head and finally greater tricep activation. Each of the above muscle teams are
targeted with heavy rowing and pulling exercises nevertheless the involvement will differ depending available
placement.
We begin with biceps workout routines, in alphabetical order, before moving to triceps actions.
Armageddon is our premium arm program, assured to push
your biceps and triceps to the limit, forcing them
to develop. In addition, it comes loaded with more than 200 coaching programs and exercises,
lots of which are free and created by experienced coaches.
Write down workout routines, weights, units, reps, and any additional notes
about how the session felt. As a newbie, you possibly can doubtless enhance the load frequently, probably in each session. But as you turn into extra skilled, growing the burden would require extra time.
Maintaining your efforts will help you obtain these milestones sooner.
I spent the following six years coaching in a
health club, studying every muscle and fitness magazine I could discover,
consuming protein shakes religiously…and had about three kilos of muscle achieve
to level out for it. To today, it’s nonetheless an enormous challenge for me
to realize weight or build muscle. Significantly, squeezing your bi’s during any transfer whereas maintaining the tempo gradual is one of the simplest ways to
activate your arm’s muscle fast twitch fibres. It’s why
PTs like Frost swear by bicep cable curls, which keep rigidity on the muscle throughout the train.
Squeeze your triceps at the high of the motion for maximum muscle engagement.
Stand on an elevated surface like a field or step to allow the load to maneuver freely.
Maintain the curler with each hands, palms down, and arms extended in front of you at chest degree.
Guarantee the rope is totally wound across the roller with the weight at the prime.
