Comment on Heidi STREETMAN's post: I agree. Sometimes students could have benefitted in the course if they had made arrangements about their accommodation. 

Students must feel connected to the instructor in the online learning environment so that they feel connected and a part of the group. 

It is important for faculty to get to know each student by observing, taking notes, and really learning each student. 

Students in the online environment can participate in active learning as they apply their knowledge to real-life experiences. 

As a faculty member, I am to be fully engaged in the curriculum and facilitating the course, and students can very much achieve active learning with an online learning platform. 

Social networking is all about building a community.

Good communication is needed to aid in the student's success.

Adult Learners seem to learn best if they can relate the content to their personal experiences. 

It is important to understand the accommodation and special need for the student.
