I appreciated hearing that it's important to connect with students individually... I liked the aspect of connecting with them one-on-one about an aspect of the bio they posted... I do think this does a lot to create rapport and trust in the instructor.
The importance of sharing your bio and learning about your students through thier bio
Making the online environment as close as possible to an on campus experience is important. The instructor should show authority but in a way that students know he/she cares for their success.

Online instructors can set his or her biography, credentials and hobbies. It is important to stablish instructor-student relationship by creating a getting-to-know-you assignment on the first day. Welcoming and sending a personalized message to students who are specially stuggling can help strenghten the educator-student relationship.
Apply teaching using a robust understanding of student success and the need for strong instructor support to make that happen.
What I have learned from this module is that I can project my presence but it is equally as important to establish relationships with the students.
It is important to build a learning community where questions are encouraged. The instructor should be responsive to students questions and provide timely and meaningful feedback.
Letting your students know who you are is important to build a sense of trust between students and instructor.
The introduction suggestions were amazing! Having each student do their own bio in a discussion forum is an excellent tool to get your classroom community engaged.
Developing a great relationship with the sudents is extemly important. Look at thier bio, send them welcome notes the day of class and the 1st week of class. let them see your precence, authority and that you want to have a relationship with them.

I learned that it is important to allow students to know somehting aobut you and to get to know them. The learing depends on how comfortable they are with you.
The module clearly shows what the expectations of students are and how instructors can be prepared and responsive to meet the expectations.
I have integrated my bio, as well as video clips and audio files. Every announcement includes an image to engage student interest.
As online intrustors traditional classroom strategies are still utilized. Instructors must know how to influence, persuade, inspire, and energize their students just as they would in a traditional classroom setting.
