I learned that having a sytem to monitor responses and assignments is needed.  The assignments may be in your CMS system and I am wondering if this is adequate?  I really liked the FAQ section for students to access before addressing the instructor.  

I think the most powerful thing I learned in this module is to have each student post a short biography of themselves.  This will be particularly beneficial to the class we will start online vs. the other group that has already had in class time with the instructor.

I learned that it is easiest to give feedback and track which you have responded to if you first have all student submissions

I plan to have folders for each week's assignments, resources, PPTs, and readings so the student can easily see one week at a time.  On the outside of the folder will be basic things to do and inside the folders will be the actual resources or assignments. 

I have learned that it is important to have your material sturctured into modes/lessons and consistently displayed for ease of understanding by the student.  If the student struggles to access the material, then they are less apt to participate fully.  The other point is to give constructive feedback in a timely manner
