The non-education department oversight for some programs was insightful.

The complexities of these metrics were shown, but I didn't see many specific quantitative metrics that have a proven basis for measurement as a factor.

The multi-state and other acredation bodies balance in faculty requirements is more complicated than I understood for out-of state online educators.

Its interesting to see that Adjunct instructors who have practical experience are being hired sometimes before professional instructors with more training in instruction practices.

Thinking through student attrition causes and what an instructor can do to help address that is helpful.

The similarities, differences, advantages, and disadvantages of synchronous vs asynchronous discussion was helpful.

Discussion question participation and projecting engagement in different activities doesn't take much for a professor to have their presence noted by students in those online activities or assignments.

The importance of working through the student orientation experience is a good one not just ot better understand their viewpoint but also for thinking through improvement.

Its good when noticing student behavior issues, to try to respond in a way that best suits that behavior, so that the whole class can return to focus (including that student).

I can be my own source of issues with active learning strategies and need to be more open to experimenting in the classroom.
