Maintaining timely communication and fostering relationships will always serve as a tool of regulating communication and participation through various types of learners and personality profiles.

Having prompt feedback within a timely basis helps reiterate the non-verbal cues we use within the classroom to encourage more participation through online platforms.

Fostering good relationships with your students goes beyond face-to-face aspects within the classroom, but also through online presence as well.

As an online intructor, it is important to set goals for the course.  This will of course look different for various age groups within the school. Setting the goals of the course will allow for different instructional strategies to be implemented within those goals as far as the course components, how to award participation points, assesment measures and schemes for grading.
