I learned its important to deal with disruptive students right away. and that online learning is difficult for some students

I really gain important techniques on how to teach and manage different behaviors that can affect your classroom management.

Various technologies are available to keep online learners actively engaged in the learning process. I intend to check out the following: ClassVR and Orlando Economic Partnership, as I think both would benefit nursing students.

I learned to address behaviors out of the gate about what may cause a student to be a non-participant online. Examples are avoidant, competitive, and dependent among others

Inactive learning occurs when students disengage from the learning process. This can happen for several reasons. Instructors must be prepared to connect with the students, observe them (or their online activity), and respond accordingly.

Passive learning is almost always necessary prior to active learning occurring. For example, I used passive learning when I conducted a pre-briefing session prior to a simulation. I presented students with the background information they needed to know to care for the patient and engage fully in the simulation.

Great idea for the syllabus to have hyperlinks to outside resources.

Its very important to establish your authority from a distance so the students will give you the credibility you need for them to listen to your instructions.

Make sure to seed the discussion, not just request a post

Learning in an online classroom can be active learning, as long as the student is engaged. Through the use of rubrics, and with proper guidance, the instructor can see what students are actively engaged in the learning process and to what extent.
