YouTube in My Course

What are the essential managerial skills that should be possessed by every manager?

YouTube in My Course “I used to ask the question in the previous slide, and wait for my

learners to answer, and only to reveal textual answers (as below) at the end”:

Managerial Skills Communication Skills

Managers communicate with individuals such as lower level staff, top level staff, staff in other departments and individuals outside the organisation like customers, suppliers and financial institutions.

Managers communicate by sending or receiving information, either written or verbal.

Problem-Solving Skills Managers solve problems faced by the organisation, whether major or minor,

to ensure operations run smoothly. Managers who intend to solve a problem must first go through the relevant

processes. These processes involve decision-making thus decision-making refers to the

selection of solution alternatives, which would have been earlier identified.

Technologies/Tools

Google Docs in My Course

Google Docs enables tutors and learners to create, store and share instantly and securely, and collaborate online in real time.

There's no software to download, and all the work is stored safely online.

Tutors can monitor learners’ progress via an interactive process which allows him/her to give guidance while the learner is still working on an assignment.

Google Docs in My Course “Currently learners email their draft assignments in Microsoft Office

for me to check. I type in my feedback (as below) and email back to them. Then, they email the changes to me and I have to… ”:

Google Docs in My Course “Now I plan to do the feedback almost instantaneously. The learner

uploads the documents, I give feedback, he/she replies and do the changes and I get to view the changes immediately”:

My comments

Settings in which only learner & I can view this file

Learner’s can reply immediately

Can view all my comments

Can view all the changes done by learners

Conclusion

Connect – Create – Collaborate –Contribute.

Technology is just a tool.A good tool in the hands of a caring

tutor can work wonders.
