Breaking content into modules was very helpful, because it keeps the flow of the class going and helps students know what to expect. I think in the in-person environment, there is a lot more flexibility depending on the "vibe" of the class and how well you can tell if students are picking up information. The challenge with online learning, in my opinion, seems to be really tailoring it to the individual and making sure that the class as a whole is keeping up or being challenged. I've had classes where students really struggled, so I spent extra time on certain topics. Conversely, in classes where students really understood the material, I was able to introduce topics that weren't initially covered, or delve deeper into a particular area so that they could get more out of the class. I wish it was easier to do this type of organic adjustment online.
