I have learned many things, one of which is that there are many aspects to online courses that make them unique, similar to classroom instruction preparation. Having a detailed schedule as well as a checklist would be helpful to ensure the completion of all aspects of online class prep. Utilizing the course management system to its fullest and making the most of the active learner-centered learning will keep students engaged and thereby increase retention. I also have a list of all the items I need to master.
