Get Your Students Hired
The main thing to consider when using dynamic components within online courses, to use those that only support the leaning environment and not just provide information if they need it.
Keep up with the updated content for your online course so your students are getting all the new and important information.

Professional development leads to a better outcome for learners and growth for best practices as an instructor
Professional development should be viewed as an opportunity to enhance online instructors’ strengths and improve upon their weaknesses. Doing so can save time later and help instructors manage their workload. Professional development should be completed to strengthen the instructor’s teaching practice throughout his/her career. It is important to set aside time for professional development as you, the instructor, and the students all realize the benefits.
Just like doing these modules is professional development to help us grow as educators and to help us teach in different environments in order to best serve our students.

I learned about
ADDIE- Analysis, Desin, Development, Implementation and Evaluation.
In this module I learned about more workload strategies. Formative and summative evaluation as well as course evaluation, and creating a repository bank for materials to be rehuse as needed.
The module spoke to the importance of being flexible and willing to update and modify the course.
I have learned that when students give feedback and make recommendations that we are unable to fulfill that we need to explain why. I also learned that when revisions are made to our courses that it is important to keep a record of both the changes and the old courses in case the changes that were made do not work and we need to revert to the old curriculum.
I learned that the technology is a very important dynamic element of the online course.
Key time management strategies and applications are important for successful on line instructors.
Keeping in mind the student needs it is very important when considering a course revision.
Start, Stop, Continue sounds like a great way to get feedback from your studnets about what's working and what's not working in your course.
I learned about "formative" and "Summative" course revisions, when to implement these course revisions onto the course accordingly along with feedback & resources providing info to assist sudents acheive the learning outcomes.
Ask students every 3-4 weeks what is working for them. What should the instructor change? Keep? Feedback is good to understand if the information is being learned and retained by those you are teaching.
Change is inevitable, so be prepared for changes. Keep track of old versions, and make sure you update all the supplemental material that may be needed when a change occurs.
