In the "Characteristics of Quality Online Courses" module, I learned about the importance of structural integrity, navigational simplicity, and learner-centered focus in online courses. These aspects can help address diverse learners and stimulate intellectual interaction based on their experiences. I plan to apply these concepts to enhance engagement, increase work completion, and improve student achievement in my future online courses.

Hello! It is interesting to analyze the progress of online education, increasingly important for the training of professionals and experts in different disciplines. I keep the idea that the form (structure) of the course has a special relationship with the contents. A pleasure to greet you from Cordoba, Argentina.

I think the content of this first part of the course is very interesting. The structure proposed to present online courses is appropriate.

I think the most important think is a student  centered course and all activities that we create for them. 

I learned how many colleges and programs are taught online.

I plan on creating more intellectual interaction within my courses to not only increase the engagement and retention of information for my students, but also to encourage a more complete understanding of the material and the ability to contribute to the class.

I appreciated the listing of the navigational link types: overview, notes, calendar, assignments, discussion, location.

Online students should not struggle to find information in their courses. This frustration can be avoided by creating courses that are easy to navigate. 

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.

A well-structured and easy-to-follow course is crucial to a successful online course. Modules are an easy way to organize your content

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 course that is easy to do and is not frustrating to finish

Quality media and course content.

I never knew that distance learning dated all the way back to the 1700s. I will also be sure to incorporate more two-way interaction between the student and the instructor so they can work through their questions and content and feel more engaged.

A successful online course must use several domains including media. The structure of the course will increase the learning possibilities.

I never thought about a virtual field trip.  I will be trying this.

I love the term "intellectual interaction" in regard to online discussions. I plan on borrowing this.

Only 6% of public schools offer online courses.
