I've learnt about the different types of learners and how to effectively handle any issues with them.
Very interesting topic, I had a mentor who said managing students was like herding geese across the road. Some will run ahead, some won't come, some will sit there and do nothing, others will peck at you. Online learning is different than classroom based learning and each student comes with their own individual reasons to participate, or not. As an instructor, it is important to strive to help all students and meet them where they are at.
This section helped me better understand how important it is to ay attention to each student's individual situation. When reflecting on students who have left a course or who have not been successful, understanding them and keeping open lines of communication helps!
Having great communication with students will help them succeed and learn the course material.

Offering time management ideas and time management messages can help a procrastinating learner.
I learned the benefit of setting limits for communication. I have always been so open that I am usually very overloaded with student communications. I really like the idea of a 24-hour turn around time for my responses.
I learned that you can counsel students via chat.
A good instructor needs to be able to keep good records of student activity including assignments and chats. There is also a need to be able to identify different types of learners and how to help them be successful in the class.

Remind disruptive students about your policies. Be consistent.
Great training so far. It's important for instructors to realize that students learn differently, even in the online environment.
Some learners may find it difficult to develop informal relationships in an e-learning environment.
Assessing students mannerisms and abilities as soon as possible, is a must. But one must also be ready to constantly reassess in order to maintain effective teaching.
