Great idea for the syllabus to have hyperlinks to outside resources.

Make sure to seed the discussion, not just request a post

Online teaching takes a lot of organization, discipline, and interaction.

To always keep in mind the structure, process, and delivery.

Focus on the student first! The disability is second.

The universal design to consider accommodations is something I wasn't aware was the reason for the closed caption feature on televisions.

Disabilities that aren't visible can be harder to identify but are equal when needing accommodations.

I have learned the difference between emotional support and service animals. They are not the same and only one has a legal standing. I also learned how our laws need to be amended to our present day. For example, the fact that years ago Asperger's wasn't recognized and now it is a legitimate diagnosis.

I have learned that all three Title IX, the Violence Against Women Act, and the Clery act are pieces of legislation in the United States that address issues related to gender based violence and campus safety. Furthermore, I learned VAWA specifically addresses domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The way to apply it at work is to always know who your Title IX representative is so that you may refer any possible misconduct to the school.

Some learners may find it difficult to develop informal relationships in an e-learning environment.
