Key takeaways from this section are the importance of clear and consice directions when it comes to comunication and discussions. Also the importance of the instructor involvement in discussion posts for an online course. From personal experiences, I know how important it is for the instructor to be actively involved in the learning of the students. One of my favorite instructors of an online course went out of his way to check in iwth his students. Because of the instructors presence in the course, it felt less like a typical online course, and more like an inperson course.
