I learned that I have worked with several colleges that have given me a great foundation in online learning. I learned that the term asynchronous refers more to a self directed learner applying themselves throughtout the day rather than having a specific time to attend class and listen to the instructor.
I learned that I should reach out more to the academic admin and be aware of their role including the role of the advisors in motivating the students. I learned a new term to reach more: creating a wiki for questions, answers and resources.
I learned that many of the short videos presented by the online learning manager at my college work well so the learning for this unit reinforced this information.
