"Yes, make sure each message sent conveys the intended message. There are no nonverbal cues in online learning. Therefore, students take what you say literally". I enjoyed this swction, having taken online courses before, I can see where miscommunication can easily happen both from the instructor as well as other learners.
Learning about the different types of teaching styles and which one is effective for my group of students. Also, the importance of providing feedback, fostering a positive learning environment and problem based learning for the students.
This section did a good job outlining the key responsibilities of instructors and some of the challenges to be prepared for like managing communication and supporting a learning enviornment.
It is important for the teacher as a facilitator to engage the students in many ways beyond learning. They need to be an administrator, technology helper, and a social administrator.
Feedback is absolutely important for students. I will be revising how I give feedback to students and the depth of it.
