Excited to finish this course and start my new job as an admissions officer!

Communication and file keeping are important for various learners.

When to use asynchronous and synchronous discussions also, I will provide my students with appropriate feedback.

Establishing a relationship, and projecting your authority and presence is important to maintain an online course.  

Knowing your CMS along with course content is key to having a successful online course. 

I learned some good approaches to develop good relationships with learners.  Unlike traditional or f2f courses, students can often be located in different time zones in an online course.  An instructor should be sensitive to this when scheduling office hours when students may be in different time zones. Another approach would be to send personal messages related to the course to each student.  This will allow a more one on one communication approach opposed to a group email to all students. 

Students in online courses feel more comfortable when they know that they are being supported, and this can lead to a successful online experience.  As long as you have the same goals for the course, instructors can take different approaches and have different methods to reach the goals. It's important for students to be able to easily navigate the course.

Posting various discussions allow for multiple perspectives from students.

Primary support falls at the feet of the instructor.

From this module, I learned the critical thinking skills from the students point of view. From successfully evaluating differences to building rationale, I will encouraged students to think outside the box and be flexible with their ideas.
