I learned that it is important to know the Course Management System well in order to support the online learner. Also, be familiar with course delivery techniques and strategies.
How the course is organized and structured and greatly influence student success.
I have used Canvas from both sides - as a student and now as an administrator. Canvas is a great tool and is almost a one-stop shop for many CMS and LMS requirements. The only thing I have not see OOTB is a chat module. That may or may not be necessary if the courses are completely asynchronous.
Teaching online learners are great as they have to learn the strategies remotely. Professional expertise of the instructor and motivation to learn the strategies are good tools to promote learning
This module was effective in learning the online teaching strategies and communication is the key to success
Learning management system for this course is very instructional for online strategies. Communication is the key to success. I am happy to learn about various forms of communication through the online learning platform
This module teaches us about how to pose questions online and participate in discussion forums and online strategies for learning and feedback
It is important to engage students and not just expect them to be sponges passively absorbing material. Students must feel secure in knowing the course requirements, what's expected of them as learners and that they have support from their instructor and institution.
CMS is the engine that I will utilzie to ensure I give adequate knowledge to all of my students. Learning and staying familiar with all avenues of the CMS will enable me to continue being the best instructor I can be.
It is essential to understand the importance of being able to navigate through the CMS and be available to my students are successful.
It was interesting to see how the course was broken down into a tree like system and knowlege of the CMS system along with the ability to support the sudents is key to success.
to ensure success different instuctors with have different delivery methods
In the online learning format of course delivery methods students maintain higher levels of engagement with facult who are familiar with the CMS and most importantly supportive of the students. The classroom standards and guidelines must be clearly detailed in support of student success.
To educate using technology as a means of delivery, it is necessary to break previous ideas, be creative and think about the different methodologies that we can use, such as video, video games, group dynamics, offline activities. It is not that it is better or worse compared to conventional education, it is simply different and it is a challenge for us as teachers to flow with change.

As a campus administrator I am responsible for the delivery of online learning and this course has excellent infomation that I will have to know in order to adequately supervise online faculty.
I plan to be prepared when communicating and use the appropriate form of communication. I will be more aware of my body language and my tone of voice.
Hello fellow teachers, the main thing I took away from the modules, is that an online class should be organized and structured in a way that students can easily navigate around.
