While online teaching, it is important to find professional ways on to implement authority with respect. This is a great tool on how to place it.
Students appreciate when you project your presence by participating in discussion posts and giving feedback. It is important, however, not to dominate the discussion.
I'v elearbed the importance of establishing rapport with students is Key
Even though we cannot be in front of students in person, we can still represent our experience, credentials, and authority. In addition, we can also encourage the students to share about themselves in order to learn more about each student and the class as a whole.
This module provided useful information about the importance of introducing yourself to students and in giving them the opportunity to do the same.

The online and traditional classroom-the projection of self, projection authority and establishing relationship is the same concepts- I still find it is difficult for me to be able to "read" the student communication without seeing the non-verbal cues and find I', restating the limits/expections over and over. I'm following through each time. Can't wait for the next lesson to learn more.

Introduce yourself with a warm welcome. Communicate with your students and encourage them to do so with each other. Sharing your experience and academic credentials will enhance the interactive relationships you create with students and student relationships with each other.
I may need to better at engaging the students at a personal level and promote more of an interactive environment.
In this course, I learned the importance of getting to know my students and letting my students know about me. Even in an online learning environment, establishing relationships with each other is critical.
Trust is a two way street and was not develop over time. That's why, it is a must that being truthful about the educational objective is a must.
Put your personality in your posts. Let the students see your personality through your words.
