It's important for students to know oneself in order to realize if they can be successful in an online course. Also keeping an eye out for students struggling to realize if they may have a disability and discuss strategies with those students to help overcome the disadvantages that disability creates.
Time management may be the biggest factor in succeeding in an online course. Successful online students have to be proactive in their studies and take responsibility for their own learning.
It's clear that much more planning and preperation is required on the part of the instructor & student with virtual learning than F2F. I plan on utilizing my experience in having taking online classes in applying the best practices I've experienced there.
This module was about using self analysis to improve online teaching and online learning for students. By giving students a chance to think about their strengths and weknesses teachers can preteach how to use the confusing parts of an online program and how to encourage and motivate students in their strength areas.

You have to be intentional about reserving time for participating in the class.

This can be done by provide frequent, positive feedback, creating an open and positive learning environment and making students feel they are valued members of a learning community. It is the student's responsibiliy to inform instructors of any disabilities that make impact their learning, and work with the instructor to provide accommodations that will enable them to be successful in the class.

Whether online or face to face each student needs to be ready to learn. Time management is critical in an online environment, more so than in a residential environment. Instructors and students need to be focused and very disciplined. This should all be addressed prior to the course.

It's not only important for me to manage my time but facilitate an enviroment where my students know how to manage their time too.
