Communication can often suffer through an online platform, but if anything, there should be more attention given to in what ways and how often we communicate with our online students!
I have learned that you have to become a student of the content and understand it in order to be able to effectively deliver it to the student. It is important to do this because it builds the students confidents in me as an instructure, which aids in the students ultimate success.
This is a nice review of topics and a reminder regarding techniques that are easily set aside when you are busy.
Instructor presence is critical in the online environment to ensure student success.
I have taken online courses in the past where they utilize the concept of discussion forums. As student I didnt relilize the benefit of the forums. As an instructor I can see the results of the forum. Forums allow students to write what they have learned in words they can comprehend. Not only does this ensure that the lesson is understood but will also help other students understand the lesson better.
To gain trust and confidence from your students, you have to project confidence and honesty in what you're talking about. You need to have a full understanding of the material and how best to present it.
Familiarizing myself with a variety of techniques.
I learned from this module that the course structure leads the students to get a better learning. Also, while more quality of content, higher will be the interaction level. I will intend to apply this material provided in the course using different techniques and many strategies that can increase the knowledge of the students in the courses, in a faster way.

Even though instructor expectations are the same, we all will get there differently based on our teaching styles and personalities. There are so many tools and techniques at our disposal, so it is important to keep updated on what is available and use a variety of different strategies to reach our students. I always feel like there is something new I could try each term to the point that it almost becomes overwhelming! Even though we have all these tools, nothing will replace an approachable and active instructor!

Hello All,
I have learned that it is important to understand the LMS/CMS in order to facilitate student learning and to make sure that it is student friendly. It is important that the online course format is easily navigated and encourages active learning from students. It is a good idea that online courses include a structure that is organized, flows and is informative.
