It is important for students to be able to find information for the course easily. Thus it is important to organize the information in a consistant manner. 

Student engagement and motivation are critical to instruction. Students must receive feedback. As the facilitator, we must assist in guiding them in the learning process. 

In a synchronous environment, the instructor and students are more involved and engaged in the learning process whereas in an asynchronous environment instructors develop a more organized course so students can truly learn in a hands-off, self-paced learning environment.

Awesome module. Giving me great ideas to add to my virtual classroom. 

There is definitely alot more involved in online teaching methods than I first thought. I will use the ideas presented to enhance my online learning platform for my students. Having taken online classes in college, I really never realized the work that goes into the online learning teaching methods. Now that I am also providing online learning for my students, I realize the level of interaction that is neccessary to provide quality instruction.
