Nice reminder to always keep a record of all communication relevant to handling any behavioral problem for new E learning instructors and know your institutions policy. 

I liked the suggestions for initiating and managing asynchronous discussions. Taking into consideration how quick a chat can go and how they impacts slow readers. I will evaluate closer how the students learn and adapt my teaching around that to make sure they are engaging and learning the content. 

I will encourage students that live close to eachother to set up face-to-face discussions with each other. I think any kind of real face to face discussion while learning is important. 

It is very important an instuctor knows how the platfrom works to provide help to students with limited online experiences.
