Professional development will provide updates and give the techers new stratagies needed to succeed. The student success rate and the understanding the students have to work sucessfully online is the goal.

The online course is always different in fact the teacher as well as the student can agree. Both are lackig that face to face interaction and must develop a relationship through the discussion board.

The discussion boards can create a panel for the instructor to monitor students and the interaction of the students. Multi-media resources will allow digital tools to for student guidance.

When teaching and learning online communication is the essential component to succeeding. Effectictive communication is essential to assure understanding in a learning community.

The online community is a setting including all type of learners just like the classroom. It is important and always necessary to prepare and analyze all your students and pay attention to be prepared to service each as the situation may arrive. Close attention  should be given to those who show withdrawn, quiet or non-verbal during discussions.

Helping all learners become comfortable and feel everyone is a part of the learning community is key to student success. Also it is important to respond frequently in lesson boards to make sure on one student dominates the discussions.

I enjoyed how each generation and its strengths and weaknesses were broken down. It is obvious in most pracices that these examples give age vererations in daily living as well as course obsevations.

The communication between a teacher and a student must be managed at all times.Knowing the meaning of all communicating skills better the interaction and the sucess of a online course for the teacher as well as the student. ex.I2S- Instructor to student.

This course enlightens the many use instructors can utilize to increase student, teacher communication. The better the teacher interacts and the replay from students also identifies the students understand and the formats work.

A online teacher does not have to reinvent the wheel to be successful,  the need will be to use textbooks online and others tools. The teacher should reflect his or her personality and chats use to stimulate the discussions and the students.
