I am new at teaching and online teaching and this seems a bit intimidating, but I've learned that to present a sucessful online course you need to be prepared and know your course material, to present quality, concise and adequate instruction so that the students may become engaged in their learning and complete the course on time and successfully. Also, to help the student with this you should be available for them and answer any questions in a timely manner so they may feel a sense in security knowing someone on the other side cares about their succes as well.
