It was interesting to review the different student learning styles. The learning styles are:

1. Avoidance

2. Competitive

3. Dependent

4. Collabrative

5. Participant

6. Independent

Clearly students have many different learning styles

I learned in this module that there is a clear difference between synchronous and asynchronous learning.

Clearly asynchronous learning is the best way for Online instruction

I have learned that in addition to the instructor postinh his/her bio it is also important for the students to post their bios. This way the instructor and other student csn get to know one another.

I have learned the importance of the instructor posting his/her biographical information

to establish for the students instructor compentence and experise

It seems clear to me that to have student and instructor success and fun in an Online class two major items must occur:

1. Learning Support

2. Technical Support

I have learned that while Online instruction can be frustrating for some students. To reduce or minimize this frustration one technique is to maintain constant and timely communication with students. Friendly reminders are helpful

I have found that over the years of teaching Online classes that there are similarities in different Course Management Systems - Learning Management Systems Therefore, it is critically important to track all students in the course. Also, learning support and technical support are importsnt support infatructure components for student success.
