I agree with the 7 principles and find that students struggle more with there is not clear or frequent communication from an online course faculty member. Clear and timely communication is key with an online course.

I have been teaching asynchronous online classes for years and follow many of the elements listed and find that my students enjoy the flexibility while maintaining a routine and set expectations per week.

Instructors should always understanding the policies and procedures of the institution and ensure they are following best practices in an online classroom to help create student success.

As an online faculty member I like to share articles and search for those in public domain, government sites or free journals so that I am not violating copyright laws.
