It is important to establish authority in your online classroom , by providing an biography , showcasing achievements , professional experiences as well as educational experieces. Having students to do a short biography also allows me to know get to them and them to get to know each other. making my presense known gives the opportunity to motivate energize and inspire my students.I truly believe that students will feel more inspired knowing that you show respect for them and that you understand thier needs.

I think that although instructors teach differently, it is important for us to have common goals , it is also very important to understand the CMS and to be familiar with course delivery techniques and strategies, . Students will often face different challenges with online courses ,and will certainly benefit from the instructors knowledge and support throughout the process. As well as technical support.
