Was interesting to hear challenges of synchronous learning when that is the more traditional approach.
For my class discussions, I use asynchronous discussion boards and also have hold video sessions with all my students. I wasn't aware that instructors used synchronous text chat rooms to have discussions. I can see how there are many disadvantages to this approach.
It seems an odd concept that major learning topics should not be presented in synchronous discussions. This is how it is often done in an in-person class. I do understand giving students the study materials in advance of discussions. I am still pondering this topic.

Instructor presence is important in the discussion board.
In an online course, an asynchronous discussion allows for more participation by the students because students are able to read others' contributions and write their own at their own pace and is friendly towards students across multiple time zones.
continuous assessment of your own teaching style will help prepare you to successfully teach the various and diverse learning styles of students.
Seek feedback from students on a regular basis.
Instructors should provide feedback to their students, it should be encouraging, in a timely manner and be mindful of their wording when providing . Instructors should also accept feedback from their students. This helps build rapport and encouragement in their learning environment.
Seek feedback from students/learners.
I learned that it is important to allow for time for small talk during the first 5 min of discussion and the last five min of discussion. I will implement this practice if I teach an online course.
Main thing I take from this course is deliver is key to students not taking offense to being redirected. Using gesture to ensure they were on track but might have missed something this is good to keep in mind. And being timely responsible for replying to let them know you see them.
It is helpful to use short and concise language to convey concepts. It is also okay to use bold, italics, underline, emojis, or certain abbreviations that the students would understand to convey emphasis or tone.
Providing feedback to students should be tailored to the individual student.
I intend to use the idea of letting My students allot time for socializing at the beginning of the synchronous discussion.
From this module, I learned the importance of providing feedback that is tailored to each student's needs and using a respectful, encouraging tone when critiquing their work.
In synchronous learning it is also important to use body language as visual communication to the learners. A head nod for example can help convey the message that the individual understands or agrees with the speaker.
I learned that with online courses, you must clear and concise. I need to also make sure that I stay on topic.
