E-Learning Activities is a lot like face to face except there is no face to face!!! But asking questions is complicated online because there are more places the teacher and students can ask questions.  All in all e-learning is like the classroom except you chat more and therefore it gives everyone a chance to participate.

You need all four charactereristics to design the best online instructions which will inspirer the student to learn at higher levels.

Keeping course records need to be done so that you can find the information when needed.  Have a plan in place for organizing your grades. That also goes for dealing with undesirable behaviors and to know the school's policies. Finally, helping students with their problems so that they do not give up.

Fostering Participation is the key to a successful online class.  The teacher needs to know how to reach the student may it be in a asynchronous forum style or synchronous small group using reflection for feedback needs to be on going.

I should compose a video about me and who I am including my credentials, but also my hobbies.  Give my students an idea of who I am, but ask them to do the same so I know who they are.  I think Flipgrid would be a fun way to get to know my students and a Form would be a great way to orgranize all the information.

Make sure that students know you are there to help them and support their needs.  Include ways that students can get in touch with you and that they know your office hours.  Be consistant with everything you do including that you understand how to use the platform.
