Adapting to its unique rhythm and student expectations turned out to be as important as the content itself.
Good reminders of the need to make sure you are completely familiar with all the technical aspects of the CMS.

Hope it helps
As an online anatomy instructor need to know how to use the online system we use. But, I also have to figure out a way to connect with students since we're not in a regular classroom. In some classes, we use extra tools like MacGraw Hill Connect, making it even more important for students to understand not just the lessons but also how to use these tools to solve problems. I will make sure to be a successful online instructor by learning how to create a welcoming online environment, encourage student interaction, and be a master at communication with my students.
I learned that it is important to become familiar with information, methods and resources in order to be an effective online instructor.
I learned that you have to be ready before starting your class know your criteria before presenting information to your class..Make sure you have answers to students question and not have to rely on the internet the whole time make sure i plan times and set alarms for datelines
As an instructor, you need to have complete understanding of the course and what is expected in completing the required assignments. Knowing the types of communication and how to unsure the comprehension is key.
Structure in online study is just as important as in-person study. The student performs better online if the system cms operates correctly and if the instructor is knowledgeable in the subject matter.
To be an effective online instructor, one must study the course material as well as be prepared to handle different types of learners that will be engaging for learning.
Trough proper planning and preparation, the instructor’s role can be seamless!
This module included many good recommendations and considerations to keep in mind when communicating in person, on the telephone or via e-mail.
What I have learned is that in the e-learning environment there exists many strategies that the presenter can utilize to both engage the learner and more effectively deliver the intended material comprehensively.
It is somewhat daunting, however, to consider that both the instructor and the student(s) must possess and maintain technical troubleshooting skills in order to continue to be capable of accessing and availing themselves of the media through which the material will be presented.
