As a new full-time professor, I will be conducting regular office hours for students and I want to ensure that I set specific times. This will help students receive prompt responses from me, whether they have questions or would like to schedule virtual meetings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Although I will be conducting all of my classes in person during the upcoming semester, I will continue to upload all course content on Blackboard, which is the learning management system used by Humber College. Additionally, I will actively encourage learners to participate in various discussions and to pose questions in the designated forum. I believe that learners have not had ample opportunities to reflect on their learning and their contributions within the course. According to Boettcher (n.d.), creating such discussion spaces can &#8216;encourage critical or creative thinking&#8217; among learners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dunlap &amp; Lowenthal (2018) stated that, instead of sending announcements through text on the LMS, it&#8217;s advisable to use walk-through videos, as they help build a stronger relationship between learners and the facilitator. This is something I plan to implement across all my courses to ensure clarity on all tasks and assignments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>2 questions about digital facilitation:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What strategies are the most effective for engaging learners and fostering meaningful interaction in digital learning environments?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can a facilitator measure learner engagement in the digital learning environment?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Being a digital facilitator is much like being a music conductor&#8230;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Much like a digital facilitator, a music conductor is responsible for providing direction, communication, pace, and leadership for its band.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0265\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/2023\/08\/pexels-oana-andrei-12240932-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-375 lazyload\" width=\"353\" height=\"470\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0265\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/2023\/08\/pexels-oana-andrei-12240932-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0265\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/2023\/08\/pexels-oana-andrei-12240932-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0265\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/2023\/08\/pexels-oana-andrei-12240932-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0265\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/2023\/08\/pexels-oana-andrei-12240932-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0265\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/2023\/08\/pexels-oana-andrei-12240932-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0265\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/2023\/08\/pexels-oana-andrei-12240932-945x1260.jpg 945w, https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0265\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/247\/2023\/08\/pexels-oana-andrei-12240932-scaled.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 353px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 353\/470;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Courtesy: <a href=\"http:\/\/Pexels.com\">Pexels.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;text-indent: -40px\">Boettcher, J.
