I learned the importance of communication online by building several methods like blogs, emails etc. and how crucial it is to establish a procedure for communication with all students and participation being the key.
Also investing in them on a more personal level is very important for their emotional development.
Using several methods like blogs, messaging, and group meetings are different ways to engage with students especially due to the fact that online classes require much more writing, and research than person to person.
I learned that you need to use more than one tactic to engage online learners.
I learned that online communication and learning must be clear and effective throughout the course.
I learned the importance of teaching students about good online citizenship, academic honesty, and professional communication in order to create a supportive and ethical learning environment. I plan to apply this by clearly outlining expectations in my syllabus, reinforcing them through examples, and providing guidance on plagiarism, communication skills, and participation.
Keep open communication with your class. Especially while detailing your expectations professionally.
Hello!
It is important for us as instructors to provide students with tips or guides to help them improve their reading and writing skills.
Communication between instructor and student, as well student to student, in my opinion, helps broaden the information and education from the course. Discussion boards and similar tools encourage communication among instructor and all students and make the topic for discussion more enjoyable. It is key to keep the communication professional, without use of emoji's and other "short cuts" used in such things as texting and emailing as if communicating with "buddies."
Professional communicating online is not different than in-person professional communication. Communication should be clean and clear and free from distractions. Keeping the message clean and allowing for the feedback with readjustments is key in keeping dialogue up to date and relevant.

Effective communication must be CPA-Clear professional and appropriate.
Good reading and writing skills are crucial for online learning.
Good reading and writing skills are foundational but good communication and ethical academic practices are also very important to online learning.
Communication is a key component of any teaching platform. An instructor must strive to be an effective communicator towards the students. This involves learning new skills, technologies and above all, understanding the student's needs, limitations and strengths.
I learned that many online courses involve more activities such as reading and writing than traditional face-to-face course. So, reading and writing are essential for online learning environments.
Maintain open communication with students.
I have learned to understand more about plagiarism.
Direct academic policy, if the policy is lengthy referred them to the specific area of the policy. Knowing the honor code help students develop good online citizenship.
