From this module, I will take the advice of letting students evaluate his/her own work.  It is a great idea to let students check their work then look at the correct answers.  Sometimes in the back of text book it gives you an explaination explaining why the answers were incorrect.  And why the correct answer is the best answer.

So far, this has been a great distance learning course.  

I have learned that the more modules I partipate in that I learn more from reading and the audio.  Therefore, I need to find a way to incoporate audio lessons.  Do anyone know of a free program that has an automatic program that will read to students?

As long as the students can use their translator on their phone and have daily communication with the instructor the students should do very well.

During this module I learned new vocabulary words.  As an instructor, I always tell my students to learn new vocabulary words so he/she can increase their reading skills.  Today, I learned the meaning of instructional scaffolding and junking.  

Maybe, you could send out a survey inquiring about students intrests.  Then have some activities that includes the students intrests.

From this module, I learned when teaching distance learning classes it helps students to have class work listed on seperated modules.  I learned that I need to find new ways to encourage students to engage in learning. Some students do not want to use technology.  Therefore, to get students to change with the times, I may need to give them computer assignsments using short activities.  Eventually, they may get intrested in using the computer.

I like the part where you state, "online instructors being present."  When I was taking classes I would always take face to face classes because I knew the instructor would always be in class.  Therefore, I could get help when I needed it.
