Making adjustments and revisions to my courses should include more than course evaluations completed by students. 

Feedback should be connected to the learning objective so that it is meaningful. When this happens, learning is improved. 

Include guidelines and rules for posting online that promote respectful interactions among students. 

Chunking information is important for students to be able to retain information. 

Students learning at their own pace can be both a good thing and a bad thing. 

Email is one of the most effective ways to communicate with students; check email daily and respond to student emails quickly.

Providing feedback an important part of the grading process. It helps students see what they did well, as well as where they can improve in the future. 

Instructors should prepare the course prior to the start date, link videos in the announcement, and provide students with a self-assessment at the beginning of the course. 

E-Learning is largely independent and self-directed. Therefore, some students will procrastinate. To help with procrastinators, I can send announcement reminders about completing assignments, as well as send individual emails to students to remind them to submit assignments. 

There are different learning styles that instructors should be aware of. Avoidant students can become overwhelmed and dependent students must be told what to do and how to do it. Also, feedback is crucial in an e-learning setting. Instructors must be mindful of non-verbal feedback; use constructive criticism when necessary but always provide feedback in a way that encourages future participation.
