I learned that there are a lot of roles that an online instructor is responsible to fill.  We become IT support, a cheerleader, a facilitator, etc.  We also need to be able to expertly navigate the CMS in order to better assist our students.  I have learned that the CMS that we utilize at my school also has a Student View so I intend on spending time in both the faculty view and the student view so I can better assist my students with troubleshooting their issues.

I always thought that it was important to walk around the classroom while students were taking an exam.  However, this taught us that it actually causes more anxiety during the test taking process and that the instructor should stay in 1 place.  This makes total sense and I will definitely try this technique with my next exam!
