It is encourage to have good communication with the students. Communication is an essential component for success in the online environment.
Providing concise instruction means getting confirmation from students that the expectations are understood. Understanding tone and delivery of messages even when you can't hear someone or see them is part of communication.
Communication written/verbal are crucial skills to success an online education.
Leading by example: Clear, concise, professional, and communicative. Ensuring students feel they have support during the entire process.
Clear communication will support efficiency in the course and help students feel more secure about their progress. Affirming and assuring students through feedback is important and will help motivation when the going gets challenging.

It is important to practice good communication skills with your students.
Communications in all things is important, so being able to give students the tools and different channels to use for communication can help them develop not only as students but in other avenues of their life.
Sometimes the education will be more than just the assigned subject. Teaching the students good communication skills and time management is also super important.
During this section of the module, I appreciated the mention of effective communication being composed of three components: Clear, Professional, and Appropriate.
- Clear communication is focused and concise.
- Professional refers to the communication protocols and norms within a professional setting.
- Appropriate communication must be tailored to the specific audient and must always be respectful.
Clear communication that is presented in a professional and respectful manner is critical to student success in a course.
Appropriate standards of online communication are beneficial for all students in an online course. It is something I plan to establish at the very beginning of the course.
I've learned today's learners want concise and clear instruction, along with hands on activities to support application and critical thinking and knowing how this will apply to their future career.
