Face-to-face lessons cannot be translated exactly into online lessons. I will need to evaluate all types of information sharing technologies and make sure that I am not sidetracked by the latest fad or bells and whistles that don't help me deliver the learning objectives to my students.
Try to eliminate any fear the students may have with doing the work, espically tests / exams. Try to add things to help make it more fun and engaging plus will help promote the work being completed on time.
Online learning is very important process that must be organized. Students must be engaged and provided feedback on their performance. Instructors must us different strategies to keep students attention.
The plan is to make sure that the plan is consistent and all those materials are relevent to the module being taught. Once the students get into the rountine of howto meet the objective and what the expectation is then that will help ensure their success. Basic planning helps students succeed and instructors progress fromorganization to completion.
It is important for students to be able to find information for the course easily. Thus it is important to organize the information in a consistant manner.
Need to wrap the course in opening and ending communication.
Online courses require work for you to seem personable and to help students navigate their way around the course. Try to consider how to keep things as clean and consistent as possible when creating your course website.

Be sure to match online content with my teaching style and teaching need, as well as ensuring the content is easily accessible and comprehensive for students.

Looking for creative ways to tranisition F2F material to a HYBRID learning envirment
This module taught me this, being consistent in your course layout will make it easier for students to find the materials they need.
Make sure the content and layout is formatted for the student for ease to be able to navigate the course effectively. Be simple and straight forward in wording sections
It's important continuously modify the course content to fit the needs of the learners. Remember the four o's to modify course content: origin, organization, orchestration, and outcome assessment.
All teaching innovations need to be tested in order to validate academic outcomes and benefits. Assess and evaluate the course in order to provide justification and to demonstrate academic rigor for online instruction, gather objective data such as scores on exams
Online instructor must keep it interesting by using different strategies. Be it games,discussion,quizzes. Trying to make it as close to a f2f classroom as possible
This may seem obvious to everyone, however I was able to realize that teaching online does not simply mean taking what I do in a face to face classroom and placing it online. There is much more to creating an online learning environment. I learned that I must find ways to engage students with the material, with each other, and with the instructor as well as provide opportunities for reflection.
I like what I am learning about organization and consistency and am relfecting on this as I revise my high school courses for next year. I also now realize how 'cold' my online classroom is currently...with no welcome letter, photo, or instructor bio, etc. I can now see that by creating a more welcoming community of learning for my students, I can improve upon student engagement & learning.
I like to 4 O's it lays it out simple.it makes it easy to understand the process in order.
Consistancy and organization, are key to making students feel included and informed.
