Years ago, I used to think that I needed to be in a classroom and have a professor in front of me to be able to learn. These days I would not change online education for anything. I can take the course at my own pace and study at odd hours from home. Online does require self-discipline and focus, but if you have a goal in mind you can reach it.

I really like the idea of an exit slip to assist students in self-reflection for a specific class meeting time and a way to assess where individuals are struggling and succeeding week by week. 

I really like the idea of giving students a self-assessment for how they feel about taking an online class. For some students, it may be their first online class and giving them the time reflect on how it is a different experience than in person can be very formative in their success or failure in the course moving forward. 

This module has been quite interesting.  Though the information does not seem too elaborated, it makes sense and appears to be easily incorporated.  The suggestions of content chunking and reaching the students in a variety of ways, are constructive ways of engaging online students that have parallel activities and little organized time to devote into their studies.  Social engagement seems also very appropiate to consider, since individuals are intrinsically motivated through meaningful relationships, established for with their peers and intstructor.

Because students are balancing work, home, school, and personal lives, I can offer reminders and announcements that help them stay motivated for their course and academic goals. 

It is imperative that students be realistic about online learning and avoid procrastination and other bad habits that will ultimately derail their success  

Utilizing different technology factors in a lesson helps to build a personalized feel to the content and helps to reach all types of learners. 

We communicate in many ways: expressions, verbally, electronically, etc.  It is important to remember communication etiquette. 

It's important to realize and remember that each student learns differently, and each will need to utilize time management and motivational skills.
