What I took in most was the importance of consistency [in presentation media] -- find an aesthetic which works, apply it consistently to all modules of your course ... and maybe (if other members are on-board) all courses in the sequence/program/department. By doing so, learners can feel comfortable because they only have to 'learn' one general template.

Looking forward to applying techniques/tips to increase online participation from learners.

Whether synchronous, asynchronous, or blended -- having guidelines, being well-organized, and affording high accessibility [of resources] to students is critical to sucessfully reaching learning outcomes.

My most important take-away was to assess for both instructor and students, whether teaching styles and tech tools are working for both parties (not just teaching/learning, but also reaching outcomes), and if not (or are sub-optimal), then it's time to investigate/evaluate other options.
