Scaffolding will allow students to build their knowledge based on experiences.  This can promote their willingness to learn more.

"Some learning objects are self-contained and therefore can be inserted in various parts of a course or be used as supplemental information or to provide opportunity for remedial learning. They can be disabled if they are not a necessary component of a particular template. Self-contained learning objects allow students to move more easily through a self-paced course. "

Clarity of rubrics are essential to the learning environment.

One must be careful in creating a reliable, concise, and unbiased rubric to ensure students have the ability to grow.

Rubrics must be reliable to ensure that self-improvement is assessed.  

Rubrics are useful tools that can help students understand their assignments differently.  I look at rubrics as teaching guides.

Motivation is key to encouraging students to push through anything to accomplish their dreams.  Feedback, discussions, a moment with the instructor will give them what they need to succeed.

"Learners will bring with them into the e-learning environment behavioral traits inherent to their personality profiles. While the behaviors are no different from those they exhibit in the traditional classroom, the arena in which these behaviors are manifested is indeed quite different."

Feedback is key to ensure everyone is on the same page towards excellence

Relations are crucial in any teaching environment. "The one-on-one relationships that you have with your students, and the trust, respect, and consideration that you show towards them during every instructional session comprise the core of an energized classroom -- one geared toward promoting an enriched, meaningful, and dynamic learning experience."
