An onine environment sounds much like a classroom environment with the different personalities. I think by having policies in place before the class begins will difuse many problems. Monitoring and resolving conflicts will take a different approach than in a regular classroom setting.
I learned a lot about providing an online work environment that can deal effectively with conflicts that arise and with various behavior issues. Also learned how to prevent attrition and work with students who are having difficulties. I will definitely want to have a clear and organized way to communicate with students in a timely manner and in appropriate ways for the situation. Organizing communication files will be a challenge for me.
The Course Structure, Guidelines, and Course Requirements depend on my expertise in organizational skills. Fortunately, I am blessed with that skill. The Course Learning Objectives are mightily dependent on me-managing learners, projecting my authority and presence in the e-learning environment, build a relationship with each learner, manage communication, provide help with technical issues. This area will take organization of a different skill set. I look forward to working with both areas.
It will be important to monitor student involvement closely in ELA, because higher level students will naturally produce more language output than lower levels. Lower level students may feel intimidated or discouraged by that.
Online courses may be challenging to students that procrastinate. It is my responsibility as an instructor to communicate with my students daily and handle conflicts/concerns immediately and consistently. Students need to be held responsible for their leanring. This standard needs to be evident from day one.
To prevent fragmentation of learning, it is paramount to keep goodand open communication to our students. Guiding the students to resolve conflicts will help them keep their commitment to education.
Keep good records of communication, especially with the disruptive students. Talk with them privately. Encourage students and remind them to stay on task. Time management is a hard issue in distance learning. We always think we have plenty of time, and then it's due and we haven't started...
I've learned that the communication is the key for student success. Additionally, constructive, regular feedback and counseling are also important in student e- learning environment.
The content in this section allows for instructors to know how to take the best measures when dealing with all types of learners especially those that can be of a challenge. It gives us the break down of the different personality types of learners. Very helpful information.

I learned that similiar to the traditional classroom seting you will find all different types of students-noisy, quiet, disruptive, intimidators and procrastinators in an e-learning setting. As the instructor, it is important to monitor those behaviors, offer support or curb them if necessary to maintain a productive, collaborative and engaging learning environment for all students.
I learned that communcations with students should be kept properly. In addition, record keeping must be simple and effective.
This section provided good information about the different learning behaviors of students and gives viable information about providing communication when directing feedback for certain behaviors. All in which is very important for the success of student learning and participation in an e-learning environment.
Know your students and the methods that they use to learn. Keep records for all your students. I suggest creating an Individual folder for all your students.
I learned it is imperative to keep good communication and monitor the progress for each student. I also learned the importance of maintaining good records of all communication and interactions.
I have learned classroom management in an online environment
The tips on dealing with different kinds of students were useful. It will give me the ability to better identify the different kinds of students i could encounter in the future.
In this module, I learned that there are different types of behaviors from e-learners, such as noisy, quiet, disruptive, intimidators and procrastinators.
I understand the different types of online learners and the problems they /class may face during online learning. I also have learned communication and the type of communication being given is important and the information given may not all be un the same category. Privacy is very Important!!!

Learn the importance of behavior management, the students/learners’ will bring with them their behavioral traits inherent to their personality to the e-learning environment. Such as noisy, quiet, disruptive and procrastinators. Also learned about major causes of conflicts and that it is important to refer to the institutional policies and procedures for guidelines that must be followed to resolve conflicts. Finally, in attrition management as an instructor, to do all possible for the students/e-learners dropout be avoiding excessive workload competition and especially technical issues.
In my experience with students whether online or in the classroom setting rules and guidelines early is a given. But, most of the times you may loose a student through troubles at home or through some form of addiction, whatever the case may be. Make every effort to maintain there attendance. In my situation I find that if a student is struggling due to the distractions I would guide them to the school counselor, or have them sign up for class at a better date when they can focus on their education.
