There are many variables to consider when looking at teaching effectiveness and optimal student learning. These include teaching styles, teaching tools, learning environment, student learning styles, assessment alignment to the standards, curriculum relevance to post-secondary "real life," level of student engagement, etc, etc. I guess one of my take-aways from this module is that I need to reflect on my own teaching style(s) and ensure I am adapting it well in the new online classroom setting, as well as carefully and thoughtfully utilizing the appropriate distance learning tools to facilitate the optimal level of student learning possible.
