The number one pitfall I see with all online students is time management. Many students have other responsibilities outside of school and they donâ€™t set aside the necessary time for completing assignment on time and prepare for test. I help students by providing a due date calendar and posting email reminder two days before assignments and tests are due. Shundra Mosby

Principle of Learning

All seven principles of learning are important. Each principle of learning is necessary for studentâ€™s success. For example, feedback and encouragement are important for the online instructor because feedback helps students understand what they did well and what needs improving. So on the next assignment the student can maintain their strength and improve in the area of weakness. Encouragement is necessary because this principle keeping students involved and engaged in necessary for their success of the class. Shundra Mosby

Online Students Technical Skills

When assignments are saved in the correct format the instructor can open the assignment and post the grade. Spell and grammar check is a necessary technical skill. This technical skill is necessary because it ensures that assignments are well written and understandable. Finally, uploading files / assignments, because all assignments must be uploaded in the designated drop box for grading. \ Shundra Mosby
