I have learned at this early stage of the course that some elements I use in class are validated as critically instrumental to improve the quality of instruction. For example, the quality of materials (design) being visually appealing and the materials being engaging and intellectually stimulating for students. It's very reassuring! I dedicate a lot of time to both tasks, and I love that it's so important in online instruction.
A well-structured and easy-to-follow course is crucial to a successful online course. Modules are an easy way to organize your content
Online learning has both similarities and differences to traditional, in-person classes. The interaction between teacher and students needs to be the same high quality but different.
Online students should not struggle to find information in their courses. This frustration can be avoided by creating courses that are easy to navigate.
