I think one of the great difficulties is to keep the students engaged till the end. The instructor should be creative enough to keep the discussion board actively going, interesting, and interactive till the end of the course.
I think prompt feedback is one of the best ways to help students stay engaged as they see how to improve next time.

Online educators have to use the course shell, discussion questions, interactions, announcements, emails and even post creative videos to actively engage their students. They do not have the opportunity as F2F educators of being inside the classroom and being able to use non-verbal communication as well as live interactions. You must constantly adapt teaching styles each term and often times within the same course with different learners. This is what makes being an online educator so exciting. How have you gained success as an online educator?
What does your writing demonstrate about your work ethic? Is it possible that careless grammatical errors can demonstrate to a future employer a correlation between how you perform in writing and how you will perform on the job?
