Online educators should use additional tools and resources that fit the course content and their teaching style to enhance student engagement.

A great point in the reading states that online learning is intended to "foster learner centeredness".  Teachers must remember that the focus of the online learning course is the students and not the technoogy in use.

Guidelines must be set in place and students shoud be held accountble for their work.  This is something tht should be communicated in the beginning of the course.  Follow-ups and holding the students accountable for themselves is imperative to the student's success.  It is also important to have a common forum for posting questions as it provides students an opporunity to learn from each other.  This can also reduce the teacher's incoming emails. Both the teachers and students should understand the process of worker smarter, not harder, when in relates to online learning. 

Is is important to allow students an opportunity to provide feedback concerning the usefulness of the technology tools implemented in the classroom.  Although teachers may have the best intentions, the tool is useless if it does not met the needs of our students.
