Presenting the active strategies to be used throughout the course, intensity of the workload, and learner expectations from the beginning in a short video course introduction will reduce some negativity from students during the course. 

Active learning in an online environment transitions the instructor to a facilitator or coach role that guides learning and student growth. 

I was surprised to learn that some students will pull out of a program because they're too afraid to ask for help about technical difficulties. Also, I didn't realize that students regularly intimidate instructors to give them good grades.

Feedback is actually much harder to give when not in person, because you don't have body language, smiles, etc. to back up what you are saying. So, you have to take great care/put in a lot of thought to how you word your feedback to a student. 

Online course transfer is not a 1 to 1 transfer from in person course. There are many things that must be adapted to efficiently convert a class into Online teaching. Learning the proper techniques and tools available will help facilitate this.

There is various methods of learning. Critical thinking skills are very important. Not just memorizing but understanding the why behind what they have learned.

Using the rubric is very helpful. Being mindful of learning activities and giving feedback to the students often is very important.

Online classes must be kept up with regularly. Since students have more freedom, sometimes they lose track of the objective. As educators we must find ways to keep them on track.

I really like the idea of the one minute paper and the three muddy points. 

I think even with it being a wonderful opportunity to teach online we need to realize there is a chance of technology not working and we should have a backup plan in that circumstance.
