I really enjoyed learning more about the various types of student learners regarding Avoidant, Competitive and Dependent styles. Over my almost 20 years of teaching online, I have had all of these types of students in my courses. I plan to use the tips discussed in this module (especially for the shy and anxious students) to help me continue to provide a comfortable and engaging course community environment. I also liked the module area on the details for both types of discussion boards. I have mainly experienced the asynchronous discussion board throughout the years. I can definitely see how the synchronous discussion could be so challenging. I also really like the information in this module on feedback suggestions. My favorite module tips that I reviewed and plan to use more of are regarding: wording feedback to build confidence and using the correct tone to avoid hurting their dignity, etc.
