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.

I've learned that it's important to engage students by getting to know them and allowing them the opportunity to know each other. Something interesting I've learned is if you have students that live or work in close proximity, they should be encouraged to meet and engage in face-to-face discussions.

A course management system (CMS) delivers course content and simultaneously tracks student performance.

This module helped me understand how people's personalities effect an e-learning environment differently from a live learning environment.

This course teaches you about the types of communication, how to clearly identify your target audience, and the efficiency required to deliver the message effectively.
