Concerning the quiet learner and luring him/her into the discussions is crutical. The suggestion to review the biographical sketch the learner has provided is so important as communication and common interests can begin to engage the quiet learner. I also think that positive feedback is important with this type of learner.

Making sure that your feedback is delivered in a positive manner is so important

This module was informative and an excellent review. Developing trusting relationships through an online leaning environment can be accomplished and is so rewarding.

This is a great review concerning being prepared as instructors to help our online students be successful.

Engaging students online allows them to apply what they learned from the content. Group activities can be done for a collabortive expereince

This module reminded me how to be an effective online instructor, to be prepared, know how to access the roster, etc.

When considering online course content transfer, simply delivering content is not enough; instructors need to check for understanding and make sure learning is actually transferred to real skills or knowledge. Continuous feedback and evaluation help identify gaps and support student progress. 

Effective instructors focus less on lecturing and more on helping students actively engage with material. Instead of simply delivering information, the instructor supports learning by asking questions, encouraging discussions, and guiding students toward understanding. This helps the student become more responsible for their own learning and builds critical thinking skills.

Minimizing attrition can be done by alleviating alienation, excessive workload, competition and technical issues.

Preparation is key. Preparing students prior to class allows for a more positive learning experience.
