Students that are constantly working behind are soon to become casualities of poor performance. The instructor should constantly monitor the class and identify these students. Once identified constant and persistent communication reminders are important.

It is clear to me that course consistency is very important to have a good learning experience for the student and the instructor.

There was a lot of very good information that I would like to share.

1. Developing a very good course framework does help the students in the learning process

2. Al course modules should have the same look for course continuity

Reply to Tina Beale's post:

You are right on target Tina in that constant and effectice and consistent communication is very important in any Online class.

This module 4 was very interesting with very good tips and information. I learned and did previously believe that the Online instructor plays a very important role in student learning. Instructors should do all they can in attrition management of the course. However, alll does not include reducing course quality and intregrity

I always use a rubric for all and each one of my Online classes. The rubric I believe is very important for the following reasons:

1. Keeps students aware of class assignment requirements.

2. The fewer conserns and questions from the students the better the learning process

3. The rubric provides clarity in the points and grading process.

It was interesting to review the different student learning styles. The learning styles are:

1. Avoidance

2. Competitive

3. Dependent

4. Collabrative

5. Participant

6. Independent

Clearly students have many different learning styles

I learned in this module that there is a clear difference between synchronous and asynchronous learning.

Clearly asynchronous learning is the best way for Online instruction

I have learned that in addition to the instructor postinh his/her bio it is also important for the students to post their bios. This way the instructor and other student csn get to know one another.
