I’ve learned that clear course navigation is essential for student success in online learning. I plan to provide a simple orientation guide and consistent instructions so learners can easily access materials and stay on track. This helps reduce confusion and keeps everyone focused on their learning goals.

I’ve learned that first impressions set the tone for the entire course, so I plan to open with a warm, clear introduction that outlines expectations and builds rapport. I’ll also use a short icebreaker to foster connection and engagement right away. Looking forward to hearing others’ strategies!

I’ve come to understand how vital it is to be thoroughly ready before teaching a class. Doing so strengthens my self-assurance, demonstrates my capability to students, and helps me stay focused on the required material within the time available.

This taught me to make sure I increased my field knowledge and incorporated it back into my teaching styles to increase relevancy in the classroom.
