In preparing students to become successful online learners, I believe it is important to begin by building a strong connection. By sharing my background and professional experience in Radiologic Technology, I hope students feel comfortable and confident that they are supported by someone who understands the field and cares about their growth. Establishing an online persona through a video introduction helps humanize the learning environment and allows students to relate to me, even from a distance. I want students to know that this course is a collaborative journey and that I am here to guide them every step of the way.
Equally important is recognizing that students have diverse learning styles and may require additional support or accommodations. I am committed to creating an inclusive online space where every learner can thrive, regardless of their preferred learning method or any disabilities they may have. Throughout the course, I will encourage motivation, provide strategies for effective time management, and offer guidance to help students stay organized and engaged. My goal is to empower students with the skills and confidence needed to succeed not only in this course, but in their future academic and professional endeavors.

Before encouraging students to complete an online self-analysis to determine if they will be good online students, instructors should also complete a self-analysis to see if they are prepared to be effective online instructors.
I find the Pareto Principle to be very useful. This principle states that "80% of your actions or efforts contribute to only 20% of your actual results, while 20% of your actions or efforts yield 80% of your results."
The instructor is responsible to help the students remain motivated.
I have taken on line courses and understand how easy it is to get behind when life events get in the way and time management goes by the wayside.
I learned that motivation assistance in online classes is having a great importance, that the time management skills are different and therefore, sending reminders might help students to succeed.
Through this course, I learned that an online persona is a reflection of who you are, both personally and professionally. What you post, comment on, and share online can shape how others view your character, credibility, and values. I learned the importance of being mindful of my digital footprint, because once something is posted, it can be difficult to remove.
I have learned or actually relearned how important it is to help students evaluate how they learn best and when they learn best and in what environment they learn best especially with an online course. Time management is extremely important.
I agree that motivation assistance is very important for online and face to face teaching. Communications need to stay open and flowing to keep students motivated and involved.
Most important to me is allowing students to notify us of learning disabilities as soon as possible so we can help with a good plan.
Students learn differently depending on their disability; for example, students with auditory issues would do better with written content; students with visual issues may need to take exams orally. Students with disabilities should be directed to consult with student services for necessary accommodations.
Instructor should learn to recognize certain disabilities and how to best accommodate the student.
Everyone learns differently. Try to accommodate all styles.
I learned that online persona is shaped by tone, clarity, and consistency. I plan to apply this by being intentional in how I communicate and reinforcing a supportive, professional presence.
Accommodate for special needs
Understanding how to support students online with motivation and any special needs is essential and I will work to build my acumen in both regards to ensure student success.
Accommodating for special needs students and using time management skills. great stuff!
This is a great idea to create engagement.
I like the idea of leaving a video in the announcement for students in the online environment. This gives a more personal touch from the instructor.
