Time is the biggest challenge of online learning. An instructor MIA is a big worry for online students.

Instructors must pay attention to the signs that a student is not engaged.

You need to have a combo of well designed passive learning activities, along with active learning activities.

Active learning is 90% by "doing."

Employers want to hire employees who can solve problems and think critically.

Rubrics are very useful for establishing a certain level of expectations and are helpful when grading student or group work.

It can be challenging to teaching online courses due to the nature of student centered learning. Meaning, students can have an attitude because they feel like they are teaching themselves and that is not what they "think" they want.

I like the information on what did you learn the last 15 mins.

There is a lot to consider when designing courses. I like the aspect of group work so that students can work towards a common goal.

Immediate feedback is very important for students in an online course.
