Do as much upfront planning as possible and plan on being flexible for delivery. Also, try and treat this as if you are at work. However, as a teacher the work always goes home. So are you really away from work when online? I have cheked in over the weekend and outside of office hours with students questions. This did not always work out very well. I will plan on letting my students know about office hours and responce times in advance.

Planning ahead and blocking out your time is important for an instructor. Acknowledging when and where you will work best is key and stick to your plan about when you'll be an available online precense. Don't set the expectation that you'll be online all the time.
Be disciplined with your time!!!
Instructores need to plan, be disciplined, and be flexible in developing their course. They should look to templates to help use their valuable time efficiently.
The instructor must be visible, organized and model the behavior for students to follow. By providing expectations/rules/procedures to learners and and modeling these, the online course should be a success for both learner and instructor. Planning and organization is key.
