I was shocked by the percentage of 47% of students that think technology is just as important as food and shelter. This is a very important aspect to consider when teaching online. The teacher must be just as tech savvy to keep up with the students.

There are several different types of e-learners. In my experience, this is true, especially if we as instructors are present in the classroom. E-learners behavior similarly such in traditional settings and should be handled with institutional policies and procedures to remove conflicts.

I think it is important o encourage confidence through grading feedback as well as suggesting constructive elements. This is a good way o encourage more participation in the future. For example, if the student was only given negative remarks, it could eliminate the confidence to continue the effort.

As an online instructor, it is important to note not all classes or students will require the same learning techniques. It is important to assess the needs of the class or individual and meet the student where they are at. From there, it is possible to bridge any gaps in the learning process.

Using a synchronous learning environment is a great way to connect teachers and peers to create a support system. 

Engaging learners in an online forum requires constant communication and a variety of learning exercises.
