It is important that students can easily navigate the course and find the learning modules with ease right off the start. Additionally, well placed announcements to guide the student in starting the class is helpful as well. Secondly, as an instructor, I want to ensure that I am connecting with my students right away, via email, phone call, and/or text message to troubleshoot any initial questions the student may have as he/she begins the class.
