For me the takeaway in this section is the more you help your students know the importance of and apply good time management skills, the more successful they will be!

I hadn't considered the social networking as a source, but I think that's a great suggestion

It's so important to make sure there are ways for every student to be able to get in touch with you/feel connected and heard. And as the instructor to be seen and heard even though you aren't F2F

I think it's a great idea to post the live video for the announcements, with the short attention spans that makes sense to get the info to the students as quickly and short as possible without requiring a lot of time on their part, but also makes more personal.

Although we can't control everything as an online instructor, this section was good to provide some helpful tips, things to avoid, ways to watch out for student learning problems and help to identify quickly and effectively.

Such a different format of not only teaching, but student interaction and feedback given by the instructor for online courses. Such good information to consider.

I love the idea of the students also posting a short bio so that now only can they learn from me in my professional bio, but I/the other students can learn about their classmates.

It was a good review of a different approach to teaching and what that would mean as an online instructor.

I would like to be able to apply a variety of learning methods and styles into my classroom so that it motivates and reaches all of my students in their various ways of learning.

I though all of these suggestions were great! I love the idea of them getting to know you and your experience and why that's important as their instructor, but also to be able to know your students better and them to know one another better. Create that from the start and I can see how that will make for a successful group of learners
