Learning about the different learning profiles will definitely assist me with teaching online; I will know how to respond and react to the stuents better.
Keep good records, and continually look for the students who are not participating for one reason or another. I hope I can give a good quality learning enviroment with the content that I teach.
Establishing your relatability and authority is important in helping to manage behavior through online learning.

It is very important to understand how to handle a disruptive learner. Even in a remote environment there should be other resources for the teacher to get help for the student.
This module discusses the different types of learners. This will be helpful when engaging and redirecting students who may not be performing as well as we would like.
This section brought to my attention the different type of learners and the characteristics that each type may display. I will try to determine student types in the beginning of the course so that I can use the techniques that were suggested in this module.
The most highly ranked form of information that an online teacher will receive from e-learners is through email.
