This is what I've learned from the model. The importance to project my presence and authority in e=learning are these: I must make myself known to all students by sharing a short biography of my academics, qualiifications, achievements, and hobbies, and interests. I must also allow students the same right on the first day and first week to share their story of themselves. I must inform students of virtural office hours and be sensitive to those who live in different time zones. I must also remind students of my expectations and give constructive and instructive feedback in order to keep the students engage. I should consider the students feeling in whether to share the name of academics achievements across the platform. I should always keep the students engage in lessons in order to keep my projecton of presence and authority.
