I learned that sef analysis is important for the student as well as the instructor in order to assess online success.
Instructors should analyze their teaching style, strengths, and weaknesses. It is important to acknowledge them, utilize them, and, if necessary, improve upon them to become a better teacher in the online environment.
Remote learning still requires an interaction between the teacher and their students, our subject matter expertise must not be devalued because we are not face to face.

Student disabilities something to be aware of. Perhaps a student has a learning deficit that has been undiagnosed, and has been labelled or sadly, self-labeled as dumb or a bad-test-taker. Identifying the students early with an evaluation is a good idea to get the resources needed.
Online classes need to be structured and the instructor needs to keep in mind how much time students will be spending on assignments, material, etc.
This module brought up a great point. That online learning is not the easy way out, it takes a lot of dedication.
I learned the importance of accomodating my lessons to my students, especially those who suffer from disabilities. Time management and motivation are key! Setting goals for my students will help their time managment and the satisfactory feeling from good grades is sure to benefit them by improving their motivation.
Knowning about intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivations of students helps me identify the needs that certain students may have. I've always felt that students were different in what really helps them get through the school work.

Time management allows students to avoid missing any online classes that are relevant.

As an online instructor it is important to review my existing online readiness and that of my students.
