This course section provided challenges that can arise in conducting an online course, and potential conflicts that may occur.  This provided techniques to utilize to resolve the conflict and help in overcoming challenges to help our students succeed in the online course module.  In developing skills to resolve potential conflicts will help in better supporting the students in the online course module.

It was valuable in learning the differences between asynchronous and synchronous meetigs.  These provided an understanding of how we can engage students in the discussion forums.  In the engagement of discussion plays a role in student participation and engaging the students in learning the topic of discussion and how they can apply what they are learning in the career path they are obtaining a degree in.

I learned the importance of techniques to use in projecting your presence and in keeping the conversations going in conversing back and forth with the students in the discussion forum.  This helps in the students having a clear understanding of the topic of discussion.  This is also a is a great learning opportunity for professors to share their experience in the field using case scenarios which helps the students understand how to apply what they learned.

In reviewing the content learned so far the importance of an orientiation for your students in helping them to navigate through the course module is important and a benefit to the students success in the course.  I have found completing an online go to meeting thats recorded that students have found it helpful when I navigate through the entire course it helps them in understanding how to access all areas of the course.
