I learned the different learning styless in addition to differences between asynchronous and synchronous discussion and guidelines for participation in each.  I found this information very beneficial to assist with the maximum amount of participation to ensure student learning and growth.

I learned how to classroom strategies for online coures, how to project a prescence and authority, as well as how to build relationships.  The first thing that I would do as an online instructor is to write an introduction letter sharing my education, experience, achievements, and hobbies.  I would instruct my students to do the same.  Finally, just as in the classroom, I would set expectations, create an evironment of mutal respect, and build relationships constantly.

I learned the criteria for quality online courses and components of a CMS for students and teachers, as well as being a support for students by knowing the system well.  As I read this information, I reflected back on some online coures that I have taken and was reminded that the sucess of the course as well as myself as a student relied on all these components.
