I have learned the importance of maintaining student engagement in an asynchronous environment by making sure to provide a well detailed discussion topic that will peak student's interests and communication within each other.

It’s very important to truly understand synchronous and asynchronous communication. Try not to have more than 5 in a group of discussions and activities 

Everyone learns and retains knowledge differently, so we as online instructors should strive to tailor our classes accordingly. 

I’ve learned that feedback to my students either verbally messaging  is key in keeping engagement  with my students .
