This section I learned that organization and set parameters are very important.  Communication also key as it is in may other forms of education. 

I now have a much better understanding of asynchronous and synchronous discussions.  The fact that acynchronous are set to help ot imporove group involvement and particpation of all.  Knowing and identifing early those that may not or have difficult participating is also important for the instructor.  I can now expland my use of discussion and have better results.

I like the idea of bio with video or other sources for he studnets and the bio of them so you can learn more about each and engage them on a more focused level.

I have learned that there are several keys to the success of e-leanring as an instructor, first you must be understand and know how to function all aspects of the CMS you are using.  Second we need to make sure that the class is developed in a consistant and organized form.  This will allow or easy manuovering and transition of the education material for the students.  The third i feel is really important is making sure the studnets have some training on how to use the system but also access to you and tech support when issues arise.
