I have learned that managing communication in the online environment is no different than in a traditional classroom as far as the professionalism involved. The mode of communication may be different, but the quality of the communication should remain high.

I know that I should take a more active role in asynchronous discussions, rather than just providing feedback at the end. I have considered a more free-flowing discussion prompt to encourage more student interaction, rather than the usual essay and two feedbacks to others.

I like the idea of having an asynchronous discussion board area for non-course related discussion. Also- I usually post my biography in the Icebreaker discussion, but many may not read it there. I should send it with my open course announcement.

I learned that I need to broaden the methods I use for content delivery. Many of my courses are text-based. I would like to create more videos to engage students with the lecture material.
