I learned that asynchronous discussions encourage reflection and critical thinking, helping introverted students to participate. There are disadvantages in doing synchronous discussions, such as the time schedules, the impact on slow readers and the dominance of fast typers. I also learned that there are different learning styles that must be identified. 

this module helped me understand that each students learning style is different and that we need to consider all types of learning in the online environment. Incorporating different styles of teaching into each class experience will help each student understand the information and be successful in the class.

From this module, I learned that good strategies applicable to online learning environments consist of a combination of traditional tactics with online strategies. These are building a good relationship with learners, asking the right questions and analysing the answers, using body language, etc. It is also fundamental to project your presence into the e-learning arena.

From this module, I learned that instructing a high-quality online course involves comprehending the structure of the course, understanding the Course Management System (including how to resolve its possible technical problems), learning the nature of the course (goals, assessments, grading system, etc.) and understanding its delivery format. 

I learned more about conflict resolution, which should not be an issue as I was an instructor in the military so keeping everyone actively engaged, assisting with anything that may arise in their personal lives that may interfere with their studies, etc. and how important these skills are in an online learning environment

I learned about the different types of students and ways to reach them be it someone who is an avoidant student, a competitive one, or one who is dependent. 

I've learned several ways to connect with the students and get them engaged and keep them actively learning.

I've learned that when you're prepared and set your students up for success, there's no way that they can fail, provided that they feel they have a supportive learning base and that starts with me.

I have learned the most effective way of feedback and discussions comes from emails and how it is important to resolve all student conflicts.

I learned about how asynchronous learning and discussions can be important for online students to interact and be better students.
