It is important to engage students and not just expect them to be sponges passively absorbing material. Students must feel secure in knowing the course requirements, what's expected of them as learners and that they have support from their instructor and institution.

In the online learning format of course delivery methods students maintain higher levels of engagement with facult who are familiar with the CMS and most importantly supportive of the students. The classroom standards and guidelines must be clearly detailed in support of student success.
To educate using technology as a means of delivery, it is necessary to break previous ideas, be creative and think about the different methodologies that we can use, such as video, video games, group dynamics, offline activities. It is not that it is better or worse compared to conventional education, it is simply different and it is a challenge for us as teachers to flow with change.

As a campus administrator I am responsible for the delivery of online learning and this course has excellent infomation that I will have to know in order to adequately supervise online faculty.

Hello fellow teachers, the main thing I took away from the modules, is that an online class should be organized and structured in a way that students can easily navigate around.
Honestly, most of this content was already known to me since I have been using multiple platforms to deliver online content. It was nice to see it organized in this way to remind me the importance of each item. The thing I struggle with the most at the beginning of a term is since I usually have first-time students is helping them with the technology component of the course. Everyone has different types of technology and often I need to help students individually to find a way that works for them. Sometimes I have to provide students with multiple learning file formats to facilitate their success.
The instructor must be comfortable using the CMS in order to be most effective. Training is important for both instructors and students. As an online instructor, prompt technical support is valued.
I concur with hosting orientation prior to the start of the course to get students all the tools and resources to succeed. Giving students all the tools for success helps them build their foundation to success.
I learned it is vital to really familiarize myself with the learning platform
It is important to understand the different techniques used for online learning and to review these techniques.
