The seven guidelines of learning was written for instructors, but can be applied to the students as well. The instructor can assist their students in understanding why goals are important, the steps necessary to achieve their goals, and how to evaluate when they have achieved their goals,

The instructor as well as the students need to be familiar and comfortable with the technological skills necessary to complete the course. The instructor may need to provide an assessment tool to make sure the students are able to navigate the course.

As professionals, students need to learn to communicate in a professional manner; how we communicate with patients, customers, clients, etc will determine how they perceive us and interact with us. As an instructor I would emphasize not only the course material, but also encouraging the students to communicate as a professional. 

Students learn differently depending on their disability; for example, students with auditory issues would do better with written content; students with visual issues may need to take exams orally. Students with disabilities should be directed to consult with student services for necessary accommodations.

Instructor should learn to recognize certain disabilities and how to best accommodate the student.
