It is important to have a plan to regulary revise and improve your courses. I will strive to increase the number of different evaluation methods.

Effective communication is important and so is developing an e-community. But my key takeaway and what I will revist is the dynamic syllabus. I do like how you can link it to the course content.

It is imperative that the course template be thoroughly tested. Even when deployed be one should be ready to make corrections. One should maintain consistent language, format and module time.

Attrition is one of my primary concerns in both my traditional and online classes. The tips about a survey to reduce the possibility of technical issues and also to help students if possible with time management and setting priorities  was very useful. I strive to apply that in my courses.

To start with, I was made to understand the significant advantage of teaching key topics asynchronously as opposed to synchronously. Although I have yet to experience the disruptive learner, I was glad to learn about what to look for in the following learning styles avoidance, competitive and dependent. One takeaway that I will use is to increase my communication to learners that are not as actively engaged. Concerning feedback I may now include asking students about how the course is proceeding and what they may like to see improved at the two week mark.

It renforced the concept that the enguagement strategies used in a traditional classroom translates to the online enviroment. One can inspire with personal messages and energize with timely feedback.

Firstly its important to be very comfortable with the course delivery platform, for me that is CANVAS. The details found in your course also carry as much weight. For example are all the exams available from the first day? Must the content be reviewed in a specific order? I got a good grasp of the overall necesseties invloved in course delivery.
