There are different styles of teaching and learning, whether it be synchronous or asynchronous, you just have to prepare yourself well with the material, make sure you encourgage learner's participation in the discussion session, that they can interact with each other, that the comments are to the point, clear and concise and make it to where they can feel confident and motivated to do well. 

This section provides you with strategies to help you develope an online relationship with your students in which they can get to know you and other classmates through a brief biography as to lead them to a trusting and respectful relationship with you their instructor as well as their fellow classmates. Also provides a sense of presence and authority to help influence and inspire them.

I am new at teaching and online teaching and this seems a bit intimidating, but I've learned that to present a sucessful online course you need to be prepared and know your course material, to present quality, concise and adequate instruction so that the students may become engaged in their learning and complete the course on time and successfully. Also, to help the student with this you should be available for them and answer any questions in a timely manner so they may feel a sense in security knowing someone on the other side cares about their succes as well.
