Continuous feedback from students can also be useful.

Plan well!

Time management is imperative for any individual in a teaching environment.

A social media group would be a great way to answer questions for the entire class, rather then individual emails.

Holistic assessment for students is a valuable tool that reflects true retention of student's learning. 

Ensuring that instructors provide relevant material to aid in student success is highlighted in this section.

Many of the concepts apply to ground as well as online courses.

As a communications instructor, the information regarding the process of relaying information is especially interesting.

The college I currently teach at has rubrics established by an outside body.  The problem that I've had is aligning the assignment criteria with the rubric.  For example, the assignment guidelines (also established by an outside body) will state that outside resources are strongly recommended but not required.  The rubric requires outside resources to obtain the full credit for supporting details.  It can be very confusing to students.
