Regardless of each of our teaching methods which will we need to put students first and make sure they are understanding what they are learning.
Although instructors will probably take different methods to teach towards the common goal, there are characteristics in place that should not be altered such as the grading scheme, points awarded to quizzes and assignments, and the start and end dates of the course, etc.
In this module I learned about the different techniques of communication and the importance of getting your message across without sounding or appearing scripted and/or rehearsed.
In this course I learned better ways to support my students online. I got some tips on staying engaged with them through CMS, and being a better instructor overall.
He aprendido que el aprendizaje en línea requiere que el instructor no sólo domine los contenidos del curso, sino que tenga un amplio dominio de la plataforma que se utilizará y las bondades didácticas que ésta posee
I have learned that it is crucial to be prepared for your course. You must know how to access information such as the class roster. You must also be knowledgeable about the information you are presenting.

Learning about the EMS is an ongoing process.
Comment on Lori Riedel's post: Totally agree with your comment.
Be organized and prepared. It needs to make sense to the student so they can guide themselves along. They know what is expected of them.
Effective teaching strategies are essential to provide students the tools they need to succeed in their learning. In an online learning environment it is important to provide clear expectations as well as organized content.
I was reminded in this module that as an instructor, I should be remarkably familiar with the features in the course. For example, having a good understanding of the trail (thread) of multiple responses to a discussion is crucial, so as not to miss a response from a student.
It's important that the set up is user friendly and that I'm familiar with how to use the site so I can help students when questions arise.
Comment on Jenny ONeal's post: Hello Jenny, I 100% agree with you, it's simple
I learned that effective online course delivery is not just about posting materials, but about creating a clear, organized, and engaging learning experience for students. This topic helped me understand the importance of giving clear instructions, using different teaching methods such as videos, discussions, and activities, and keeping communication consistent so students know what is expected. I plan to apply this by organizing my course into clear weekly modules, providing regular updates, and including more interactive elements to help students stay involved and supported in the online environment.
Course delivery is very important to make sure you understand how to run the course and answer any questions that the students may have.
Go over the information in advance to ma,e sure you're familiar with the course.
This module taught me my role while teaching online - understanding the importance and ability to provide educational support as well as technical support.
Informative module to help the instructor better understand teaching in the online structure and how to get the most out of the course.
