With an online course, I feel that it is important to supply comments or critiques on student assignments. This provides the interaction with the student that makes the course more personal. It also shows that the instructor is monitoring the student growth and knowledge of the subject.

As a new online instructor, I am in the process of implementing tools such as pols, Q & A, and quizes into my presentation. It varies from class to class in regard to which tool works the best.

I feel that to keep the students attention, ones vocal presentation should be clear and concise. The instructor needs to keep the students attention on the subject matter. And if the student is not "captured" by the presenter, they become bored and lose interest.

As a new online instructor, I feel that it very important that one is comfortable with the applicaitons that available for the student as well as the instructor.

sometimes it the students, not the subject matter that motivate the instructor

Students need to feel motivated, and that can be achieved by an exciting and engaging lecture.

Student involvement is vitally important to retention.

With online courses they feel more at home.

Online classes are great for those who have busy schedules and families.

These are helpful to students in that they allow one to enter information at their leisure.
