I learned that teaching onloine is like being a goog project manager.Online teachers need to have analysis and communication skills, be able to work in a team environment, be calm and have time management skills. These are the same skills required in project management.
Additionally I found the entire module on workload management strategies to be relevant for all teaching environment. Time is so precious to a teacher, there is none to waste. I always thought that teachers are like salespeople in this way: A salesperson work is never done, they can always do more. More prospecting, more presenttions, more customer support. Teachers work is never done, we can always work on improving our cirriculum, giving feedback, counseling students. Of course we can't work 24 hours a day, so workload management is essential.
