I is important the learners recognize the presence of the instructor and that the instructor is responsive.

Online teaching has many components.  The role of the facilitator or online instructor is complex.  Instructors must have a good understanding of their role in the online course.  

For post conference with the nursing student, the students share experiences and what they have learned.  I will develop a rubric that can be given to them for review and I will use to critique the informative presentation.

I want to create a tool that can be for shift report and will include concise, clear information. 

Writing is important in nursing and is a weak area for most students.  I will create a tool for providing a summary of what the students' experienced or learned for the day.

I noted several methods or techniques that I can tailor to the program in which I teach.  I will freshen my approach for orientation and hope to present a positive, open environment for students.  At the same time, set high standards for work presented.  

This course was helpful for me.  It is important to know what the reasons are the student is in the program.  It is easy to just assume that most students are in the program for the same reasons.  Getting to know the individual's reasons can be what can be utilized for encouragement when events occur.  Life will not stop happening just because the individual is in school.  So it is important to know the students intrinsic reasons for wanting to be successful.  However, it is important to maintain the professional boundary that is necessary to be effective.

I would be interested to review other persons comments regarding this issue.

Thanks,
