Resonance of the significance of nursing instructors familiarizing themselves with course delivery techniques and strategies
This was an interesting course. I don't teach online, so I have no opportunity to apply this knowledge at present.
Online courses are different compared to in person lectures. Online classes must be organized and prepared correctly in order for students to understand the material.
I have learned a lot about the syllabus and why modules are important to student learning
This was a very effective module to receive understanding to help engage with students what policies go along with it and day to day tasks and informative information help so that students can clearly and visibly understand good structure for online learning
This module informed me of why modules are important and effective for student learning.

Comment on Ben Austin's post:
Being present, and supportive is an essential component of a successful online learning environment. Replying to queries as promptly as possible is one strategy, and setting clear office hours is useful as well
IT issues are extremely stressful, and an instructor has to have a chain of available support. Learning ways to troubleshoot is always a good strategy
I learned about the multiple steps to being an effective online instructor. Communication of course objectives, repeated reminders about deadlines, and offering support, assisting with technical challenges, and ensuring a compassionate environment is extremely important. The required rigor, and submission deadlines have to be maintained in a consistent pattern
I learned that effective online teaching requires understanding the course structure, deadlines, assessments, and learning platform. I will apply this by staying organized, communicating clearly, responding promptly, and providing timely, constructive feedback to support student success.
This course emphasizes the importance of understanding the CMS and of knowing components such as posting grades, course announcements and reviewing the gradebooks. There are situations that arise that IT can manage, however, the instructor is a key player in assuring that receive the content necessary for success.
Understanding the CMS and the importance of testing all equipment/software prior to beginning.
This module reinforced that understanding a variety of instructional methods helps instructors effectively engage students, accommodate different learning styles, and create a positive learning environment. This helps with course and content delivery which can foster student participation and success.
I am just starting out in the process of online teaching, but what I have learned so far is that you need to take the time to get to know the platform you will be using in order to provide the best service to your students. It is also important to have as much information as possible about the course structure and key details, such as grading. I plan to put this into practice right now, as I am about to undergo training on the platform we will be using for teaching.
