The importance of preparing lecture notes.

By the end of their first class with the instructor, students should feel a sense of security in their path towards success in the course.

I've learned about the important of planning early, before the course begins.

I've learned that instructors must fulfill three roles when it comes to teaching; model, manager, and motivator.

I learned that there are different types of behaviors for e-learners, that students can exhibit multiple behaviors, and that each type of behavior can be addressed using certain techniques and skills.

I have learned that there are at least six learning styles; three of them are inhibitory and must be mitigated or addressed in some form.

I have learned about the importance of biographies, both for instructors and students. Students read the instructor's bio to get a sense of them and to grow faith in their competence. Instructors read the students' bio to get a sense of them and to identify which students might need special help.

I've learned that quality online courses require structural integrity, intellectual interaction, navigational simplicity, and active learner-centered learning.

I have learned that it is vital to mind the benefits and detriments of a given communication technology so that you are better able to facilitate an online learning environment.
