I have been teaching at the university level in the classroom in excess of 13 years and August 2013 will mark my one year anniversary teaching online. What I have discovered during the past year teaching online, and what I learn from this course is that presentation of course materials in a concise and consistent manner is a very effective tool, in addition to the depth of the information to be presented to the student. Since the end result is to get student to learn, online instructor must be at all time cognizant not to overwhelm the learning community. Providing supplemental material is critical but there certainly is a fine line when determining the correct amount of information-the length is important, too long and you will loose the attention of the student.
