In some ways, online learning is like the classroom. Some students will be quiet, others disruptive, others dominating, etc. Know the policies and how to deal with each.
Feedback, feedback, feedback.
Plan discussions, allow time for participation, and provide solid, effective feedback.
In an online environemnt, it seems the relationship COULD be even more important than in the classroom. I also think the teacher has to be very deliberate in that relationshiop.
The key thing is to be familiar with the CMS, both from the teacher and student perspective. Some light IT skills, to help students, will be useful as well.
