Organization is Key!

I believe that organization is the key to creating a successful e-learning environment.  Students must be able to easily navigate the site and understand where all course materials are located.  I also find it useful to guide the student with appropriate settings that force a student to complete prerequisites first.  Check Your Understanding quizzes at the end of each lesson or module are also beneficial to gauge student understanding of the material.

I agree, organization is one of the most important aspects of the online environment

Yes, agreed! I have taught for several colleges online, and not sure if it is the platform they used, or course developers? However, I find that student retention is enhanced when a course is organized in such a manner that students can go through the modules and complete the work without being weighted down by issues such as where or how to locate where to post information. It is helpful to communicate with students in the 1st week to ensure they know how to navigate the system, and are not afraid to ask questions if they can't figure something out.
