Providing feedback helps assist students in achieving different learning objectives and improve their skills.

I have learned the importance of developing a syllabus that is logical and helps guide students through as well as developing a sense of belonging to the course.

This section provided valuable information on how and when to address different types of students. It also provided useful information about strategies to employ when dealing with difficult students professionally and fairly while protecting the integrity of your course.

The information presented regarding asynchronous and synchronous discussions was valuable and provided good advice when managing course discussions amongst students.

This module clearly articulated the importance of projecting your authority and influence as an online instructor in order to build confidence and trust with your students.

The most important concept I took away from this class was the use of technology tools can not only assist the student but it can also assit the instructor to facilitate the best training possible. Technology tools should be reviewed to see if they are working or altered accordingly to achieve the highest training value for the student.

The most important thing I took away from this instruction is course content consistency as well as utilizing a learning database to assist in building and structuring course material.

This was useful information covering online course structure, instructor roles, responsibilities, and expectations, as well as planning considerations when building and teaching an individual curriculum. I also thought the attention paid to address good communication was vital to the success of an online instructor. I will be applying the module structure to build my course moving foward.
