I have learned how important group work is during online learning. As an instructor, it is easy to assign individual work when they are working from home, but it doesn't guarantee positive student engagement. Putting the students in groups increases engagement, because they have to interact with each other. It also increases their social engagement.

I have learned that it is important to establish relationships between the facilitator and the adult learner just like you do with younger students. The positivie relationships will increase the adult learner's ability to feel comfortable in the class. Therefore, this can help that learner share more of their ideas and participate more in the class.
