Consistency is important when designing online content.  The four O's are useful and should be kept in mind.  

 

There are many roles for the teaching to consider with the online learning format. Communication, fostering a learner-centered environment, structuring problem-based learning, and providing meaningful, informative feedback are all essential. 

Communication is important just like in a traditional classroom.  Students must be informed and instructed on how to use the technology in both the asynchronous and synchronous styles.  

Just like in a traditional classroom, organization is key.  Students must be informed and instructed on the methods of online teaching.  Both asynchronous and synchronous learning are important, with advantages and disadvantages to both.  

 

It's important to match the appropriate teaching tool to your teaching style, keeping in mind the needs of your students.  This can be done by getting feedback from your students to assess their level of engagement and success with each tool.
