Clear and concisee communication and frequent, continual feedback remain at the forefront of success, but the last unit added in the importance of student collaboration, giving the students the opportunity to "buy in" to the importance of interdependence and student control working in small groups.
Online students need more support and feedback. It does take more time in teaching online since the virtual classroom needs to be made for the students to have easier understanding and comprehension of the course.
It is essential to provide prompt and frequent feedback throughout the course timeline. I must set communication guidelines and properly model behavior I expect from my students. I must also set consequences for those guidelines. Guidelines must be clear and consise. Time lines must also be clear within the guidelines. Essential for prompt communication is teaching and giving examples appropriate communications. Through my syllabus and course intro students can access the important info they need. Teaching students the importance of and how to utilize the course syllabus is key.
It is important to give feedback to the students'. Send short messages praising the student's on their discussion/
As in the classroom, feedback online is imperative. Emailing students for various reasons requires effort and good communication skills. Being a near-constant presence for students helps them be more successful.
When communicating, instructors need to be transparent. They need to be clear and concise with expectations, model professional writing, and provide both public and private feedback.
Support and feedback are important to an online student. This helps the student with their online studies
Communication-- and different strategies of communicating-- must seek to overcome the obstacle of no F2F interaction with students and instructors. Possibly the most valuable hint in this unit was to offer bonus points if all members of the group (less than 6) achieve a certain scoreon a project. That could incentize the members of the group who don't wish to participate, and adds value for the hard workers who are extrinsically motivated.
An online instructor is essential in the success of online students. An engaged instructor will produce engaged students.
Feedback is more important in the online environment. It is essential to learning. Teachers should not respond immediately to every post. Remember to be the "guide on the side". Be sure to respond to messages within 24 hours or 48 hours during non work days.
The instructor’s goal regarding workload is to develop procedures and policies that encourage, force, push, or motivate students to communicate with you and their peers in the online classroom.

It is important to provide feedback and maintain communication with students because of the nature of online learning. As a facilitator, you must find a balance so you do not overwhelm students and yourself. Feedback should be clear, concise, and effective.

Learned that "A Word document template can be prepared with examples of comments for feedback to learner assignments. By using the template, faculty members are more efficient with their time."
Communication with students should be frequent and continuous as to minimize the feelings of alienation. Students who do not participate in the first discussion I will need to contact individually and find out what the issue is. Issues may be technology. As instructor get students to work collaboratively (projects, discussions). As instructor I spark the discussion and keep a minimal presence.
Feedback is extremely important in on line learning.
Teachers must establish communication in order for the students to feel in touch.
Communication is what makes an online course successful, whether it is student to content, student to instructor, or student to student. There must be boundaries extablished regarding all forms of communication. This can be done in the syllabus. Feedback is very important to keep students from feeling alienated from class.
Dvelop procedures and policies that encourages.force,push, or motivate students to communicate.
I frequently use a Word template, especially when the student responses miss important items or include extra insight. Both of these occasions require feedback that may be repeatedly recyled and reused.
I do the task,we do the task, and you do the task independently.
