College professors at AZCN can ready online students by providing clear orientation modules, technology tutorials, and expectations for communication, time management, and academic integrity. Early low-stakes activities help students practice navigation and engagement. To assess barriers, instructors can use diagnostic surveys, brief assessments, and check-ins to identify issues with access, digital literacy, language, or competing responsibilities, then connect students with resources and adjust instruction as needed to support equitable participation and success throughout the term.
Communication is key and is very essential, learning styles are different and everyone is unique in their way of learning things that's why we always have to switch up our style of teaching.
online students need as much attention than the face to face students.
Comment on Elizabeth Lane's post: I completely agree with the tips you gave on creating methods that help students process and retain complex information!
As an instructor or an Instructional Designer realizing more goes into the development of a course, but the realization of the individual needs and considerations for the variety of students that may be enrolled. As an instructor you must consider their abilities to take an online course, encourage commitment, discuss disabilities, motivate, and set goals with them. As well as developing tools for their success, such as standardizing days/times assignments are turned in. As an instructor you must be just as committed and the student
I believe that is important to create a dedicate distraction- free study space establishing a consistent daily schedule and promoting active participation through frequent comunicatin with the instructor.
I think the idea that students are very comfortable with videos rather than having to read an e-mail announcement. I will get more comfortable with making videos to underline points or make an announcement. I am trying to meet the students where they are at and increase my communication quality.

It is important to know your students and keep communication open with students
Video media is great if you can find time to do it.
help student understand time management and expectations.
manage time and know everyone learns at a different pace.
It's important to teach students how to manage their time with proper time management.
Creating a dedicated workspace and setting a consistent daily schedule are critical. The students should also actively engage with peers and ask for help if needed.

Everyone learns in their own way, what works for some wont work from all. Being able to adapt and teach the material in a multitude of ways is key in ensuring the class as a whole is understanding the material.
I think it is really important to remember that everyone learns differently and at their own pace. It may not be obvious is someone is having a hard time processing information. It is important to find out if students need more resources or accommodations if they are struggling.
I learned how strongly an instructor’s presence and communication style influence student motivation in an online environment.
