An instructor wears many hats, and one is of a facilitator making sure that the learning and expectations are communicated clearly with the students. Reviewing feedback allows you to check whether the course and instruction were successfully learned by the students and will allow you to tailor the course better for the learners.

Both asynchronous and synchronous have benefits to learning as well as draw backs I like the idea of front-loading information but also allowing the students to have live peer interactions as they can be more engaging than simply using asynchronous methods alone. 

Each instructor has their own style of teaching and using technology you can bridge the gap between teachers and students. Picking the correct technology to suit your students' learning needs increases the effectiveness of our instruction. 

I enjoyed the variety of projecting your presence methods presented and found the use of reminders for subject due dates to be very helpful in understanding maintaining my presence in a virtual setting.

To make sure the course is effective you should check the system to make sure it is easy to understand and navigate otherwise the student won't be properly engaged and they won't keep attempting the material. 

there are many ways to help people with lower reading skills, but the underlying theme is to keep it simple and allow them to use the words in a setting or scenario to promote retention on top of hearing and seeing the word.

I need to use a variety of tools to maintain students attention.

There were so many impactful pointers through the lesson what did you find was an aha moment for you? For me it was the resonance of using 10-15 min segments to allow them to stay focused it made me feel more confident in my approach to changing styles throughout a time period because before i was worried it would seem like too much information and be off putting. Instead, it has given me security in knowing that it's engaging their ability to learn. 

Changing tactics helps to promote engagement of students and keeping the period of time broken into 10–15-minute segments of each teaching style allow each student to resonate with different points of the lesson.

The difference between assessment and how they're received provides a lot of insight in to choosing the right type of test to suit what needs to be evaluated as well as showing how much content is being retained by the student.
