With online learning, it has become clear that it really is more about the course management system than it is about the talent and knowledge of the instructor. With the amount of independent learning that takes place in comparison to the number of hours spent with any single instructor, the technology is more important, and it is the instructor that must be diligent in learning the platform and all of its tools in order to manage the course appropriately. Open communication is also extremely important for the learning experience to be optimal on any CMS.
