Most of the preparation methods discussed are well aligned with online Instruction. Each method minimizes the time spend in preparing for a course, regardless if online or onground. Instructors may sometimes compromise the time based on 'being at home'; thinking they are prepared because they know their environment. This is far from the truth because there are more distractions at home, versus student distractions (welcomed), in an onground environment. One, you can prepare for (onground), versus the unexpected (at home online). Again, applying these preparation methods in either learning environment is key to instructional success! Vera Davis
