Los materiales reutilizables pueden ser útiles a la hora de diseñar el ambiente virtual de aprendizaje, ya que se puede seleccionar el material que cumpla con las características de aprendizaje que se plantearon.

Los laboratorios en línea deben estar muy bien diseñados y pensados para que el estudiante pueda realizar pruebas y simulaciones y seguir motivado y enganchado con el curso. 

La pregunta más importante que debe hacerse un instructor asincrónico es ¿qué objetivo de aprendizaje va a tener el estudiante? De esa forma podrá diseñar el curso más apropiado para esos objetivos de aprendizaje.

Aprendi que los cursos asincrónicos requieren mayor nivel de responsabilidad por parte del estudiante, por lo que los materiales deben ser claros en el aula.

I learned that e-contents can be shown in different ways such as graphics, videos, fotographics. etc

The course syllabus is very important because is the tool students have to know what are they going to learn throughout the course. Is also important to choose the correct way of evaluation through quizzes or exams, chats or discussions.

I learned that asynchronous method is more common now a days, because it gives students the opportunity to take the courses at their time and rythm. The teacher and students have to be available to ask and answer questions on time. 

I learned that online education has evovled over the years. When it first started as distance education, students had more trouble communicating with their teachers. Now a days, online education must have a more effective communication between student-teacher, integrity and a well done course with activities that help students gain competences. I will apply this knowledge on my classes by using case studies, knowledge based on projects, real examples.

Blogs can be a useful tool to enhance online students to participate more in the class. 

Microblogging and rubrics are very useful tools in online teaching.
