Constant self and peer evaluation of your course using multiple methods is key to making sure your content is on track with your syllabus.

Feedback is crucial to letting students know that they met your expectation. Rubrics are an essential tool to help students know what they need to have to get a good grade on an assignment.

Making sure your course builds upon itself and use different forms of communication to make sure you are meeting all students where they feel the most comfortable.

Consistency and clarity is the key to developing an effective and efficient online learning experience.

I learned that you will encounter difficulties in any teaching environment but you need to stick to your expectations you set at the beginning of the course and with what your schools sees as acceptable response to behavior. Also you need to keep good records of interactions and be an effective communicator through email.

Feedback should be provided in a timely manner without using damaging criticism but more encouraging wording.

Let your students know you are there for them and have been where they are. Be relatable and available.

Give clarity and detailed instructions for people learning online. Have a clear mapped out plan, with options for students who fall behind to get caught up and be successful.
