I learned the importance of the different types of discussions, interactions and communications.

Depending on the goal the instructor is trying to reach can determine the style of questions or interactions with the students.

Due to the outline and structure of the course being established already, it is for the most part user friendly and easy to navigate.  Having resources within the system allows students to access tools to increase their productivity. 

Everyone learns differently.  Providing options especially online can increase retention of the information being taught. Some learn by hearing,  some are visual learners, some learn by interacting.  Providing options especially online enables the instructor to increase chances of students success in the course.
