I learned that having good communication between yourself and the students is crucial for student success in an online course. it can be easy for students to procrastinate even if they don't usually procrastinate. That is why it is important to always post announcements and reminders about due dates and to make sure you are always checking in with your students.

I learned that it's best to use asynchronous discussion in order to elicit participation from all students. That way, they are able to post on their time and are more likely to participate.

I learned that even in an online course, it is still important to get to know your students. It is always great to introduce yourself to your students because this helps make you a bit more approachable whenever students need extra help.

I learned it is important that you are familiar with the CMS your school uses in order to help facilitate student learning.

I learned it's important to try to implement different learning styles because not every student learns the same way.

I think it's always important to introduce yourself as it sets up a sense of trust. 

It's important to be prepared for every class and to be ready for any questions students may have.

I learned to always lead by example and stay up to date as best as possible.

I learned that it's important to really show your passion to students to help motivate them and be successful.

I think it's helpful to share stories and personal experinces with students to help them remember things.
