When I look at the online experiences that I have had in both the instructor and the student role, I truly believe that instructors providing quality and timely feedback is so important to students learning. What are some of the best ways to engage students and meet them where they are at?

This can be a real sea change from teaching in the classroom. The needs and abilities of both the students and the instructor have to be different than teaching in the classroom. You almost have to reach another level to be successful in guiding the students through the material. You don't have the luxury of face to face interaction in this instance to help determine their level of understanding.
