In order to be effective as an online instructor, effective communication is utilized to address all types of learners. Noisy learners, disruptive, procrastinators, etc. can be addressed with specific strategies and methods. Conflicts can arise and need to be identified and ameliorated by the instructor. To avoid attrition, instructors must be able to identify issues such as work load, family issues, etc. They can avoid student attrition by offering incremental support and feedback to students.
