I am learned that is a wide aspects to check before to teach a online classes, such as infrastructure support, not only the knowledge about classes itself, the computer support, technical areas, technology and software, malfunction of the computer system and software, are very important factors to manage in order to be successful during online classes.
Teacher and Student need to be familiar with the CMS. Students should be comfortable maneuvering and using the CMS to access class information. Teachers should make the CMS as easy to use as possible for Students.
I learned ways to make the class content in more structured way. Have students have access to quizes and exam material. Ingage students during class so they are cognetively challaged which will result to them remembering the content.
very helpful information that will take time to put into place.
For online instruction, it is vitally important for students to have both technical and learning support. Technical difficulties or lack of knowledge with navigating the LMS will negatively impact the student's learning experience.
PAy attention to detail and consider the capabilities of your students
Make sure equipment is working and you have the appropriate web conncection for th evideo conferences.
Online instructional delivery is an art form all its own. There is a difference between the novice painter when compared to that of a master. Painting by the number won't cut it here, especially with state accountability not relaxing its requirements and acquisition of state standards. In order for online platforms to be more content specific, state standard specified, and aligned, they must consider the expertise needed for instruction to be uninhibited, especially when considering the various populations of learners that they will affect.
Planning a SOS course (STUDENT ORIENTATION COURSE is a big help and will help teachers to understand students learning styles. Expectations of classes and introduction to assignmens can help students complete assignments and projects.
Some people may be under the false assumption that on-line teaching is the same as in-person teaching, only done via an online platform.
Not so! Teaching on-line requires attention to specific skills in addition to your expertise and knowledge in the subject area. Items that one may not have even considered during in-person instruction, because they do them rotely and automatically requires some consideration when delivering instruction online. The basic orientation of the course and the Course Management system employed becomes vital. The degree of technical support becomes equally important. In order to teach effectively online, one must make sure that he/she knows how to (according to this module):
- View the class roster.
- View student profiles.
- Post announcements.
- Post discussion questions.
- Interpret the trail of responses to discussion questions.
- Participate in Chat sessions.
- Drop participants from Chat sessions. A circumstance under which you should do this is when students ignore your warnings and consistently deviate from the topic.
- Respond to students' input.
- Generate a summary of each discussion forum.
- Delete postings from the discussion forum.
- Review events in the calendar.
- Post events in the calendar.

Knowledge of the online Platform is key!
At the present day and time, technology evolve while we are sleeping. E-learning provide various ways to get the job done for teachers and students. To implement a successful platform the teacher must have knowledge how to use it effectively.
cms Function and operation is important to no take focus away from the online learning experience on all levels
The online learning platform is constantly evolving allowing for accessibility for all learners. Instructors need to know how the platform works in order to best service the user.
I think that although it may be convenient for some, the lack of systems resource can cause many frustrations
although online learning is for many more convenient it may cause frustration to those that do not have adequate support for the system
I have learned that their is a lot more to online learning. As an instructor, we need to know and provide a lot of things for the students.
That although the CMS is the same, all instructors will have their individualized approach, also you should be organized and detail oriented to ensure the success of your students and the couirse. I as well as the students need to understand the course delivery system and how to track student performance.
learners have a higher sense of comfort and security when they are convinced that someone will be there to support them and make their learning experience a successful one.
I will need to improve my understanding of the structure and functions of the online modules - based upon this great discussion
