Knowing the difference between synchronous and asynchronous meetings is extremely beneficial.  I will not use synchronous discussions for important learning topics because tooo many students may be left behind and I will not be able to give the appropriate feedback to each student.

At the beginning of the course I will send a welcoming note with a short biography of myself including my credentials and experience.  I will request that each student send a short biography of themselves also.

Just putting assignments out there for the students is not nearly enough.  They must be provided with continuous instructional and technical support.  Feedback is extremely important for their success.
