I've learned the difference of asynchronous and synchronous when fostering participation. Most of the ideas I've learned in this module today have confirmed teaching practices. I am happy to know we can use emoticons in asynchronous discussions to help convey the message and to compensate for the lack of nonverbal cues.
In addition, I have learned the importance of rewording feedback to encourage participation, and to increase the studnents' confidence to partcipate in this module.
