When designing online learning units, it is still necessary for students to learn specific knowledge prior to moving on to more advanced courses.

 As a facilitator, I need to evaluate student learning to determine if learning occurred and if the academic, social, and pragmatic needs of the learner were met.

Guidelines for communication, assignment submission, etc., help the instructor and students understand the constraints, control, or freedom the instructor and students have in the course.

Choosing appropriate technology for teaching and organizing my online course is essential to the learning process. As an online instructor, I must ensure technology is selected to meet my needs and the needs of my students to enhance the learning process.

Some laboratories are designed for research in which students gain new knowledge not known in the student's field. Other laboratories are designed for instructional purposes; in such labs students can learn something that is already known. Labs fitting the latter description are common to competency-based programs.

Assessment in a competency-based classroom can be either formative or summative.

Learning styles are behaviors that serve as stable indicators of how learners perceive, interact with, and respond to their learning environment

Using Bloom's Taxonomy will help you become an effective Instructor 

I have to remember that I will have many different kinds of learners in my classroom. and I need to have a clear picture of the demographics of the students I currently have and will be having.

Writing objectives can be a challenge if I do not have clarity on how to structure the components of an objective, and on the use of the objective in relation to the course content.
