I have always taught my students that Time Management and Organization are two skills they can use to get and keep good grades. Time Management Skills are important in the Success of online students. The Seven Principles of Learning is equally important for teachers and students. I would apply the Seven Principles of Learning in my Syllabus to set students' expectations and the tone for online learning. Students focus more and have less Pitfalls.
Being able to set your students up for success through use of the proper and approrpiate tools.
Goal planning will have impact on how a student learns. To be successful as a teacher or student, one should use the seven principles for learning as guidelines.
Understanding the 7 principles of learning are valuable guidelines for success in an online learning environment. Although these guidelines were developed years ago, they still very much apply to the online learning environment today.
Expectations should be clear and set high. Communication must stay in effect between instructor and student. Prevent procrastination. Encourage and praise student's work as appropriate.
Goals are feedback and student being able to manage time.

One of the important factors is being able to communicate well with the students what your objective with each assignment, making sure the student understands. Make sure they understand what you are wexpecting from them in their assignments on the specific topic. Allow time after class for students ask questions and if you know a student is uncomfoprtable to ask a question in front of the class set a time you can speak on-on-one.
The seeven principals of learning can be applied to life skills as well as the online environment. Once theses skills are understood they can be utilized to any situation.
The 7 Principles is a very effective tool for both the student and the instructor. It set very high standards for both the learner and the educator.
Netiquette must be taught.
encouraging students is essential, communication and motivating should be part of daily routine, making sure student is managing their time efficently to complete tasks
The table of "Principles for the Instructor Teaching for Success" and " Expectation for the Students Being Responsible for Success" was an excellent visual to understand the best practices.
I like Ben Franklin's quote "Failure to plan is a plan for failure". Very true.
The keys to learning are setting goals, having respect for one another, and the seven principles of learning.
I have already copied and pasted the items from "Principles of Learning." These will be terrific tools for setting expectations at the beginning of a course.
In an online environment, Netiquette is crucial. I can imagine that a lot of conversations on discussion boards, etc, could devolve into unproductive nightmares if people aren't following the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. guidelines. As stated, things like sarcasm, joking tones and the like can't be properly conveyed all the time online.
RESPECT is essential for student buy-in and effective discussion boards etc.
I have learned that students should set goals and work on time management skills.
Overall,an understanding of the methods of communication,the importance of communication and facilitating the communication are concepts I need to focus on more.
I leraned that understanding the seven priciples of learning will help in being successful in online teaching.
