Maintaining an online presence is vital to an online course. Both my son and daughter have taken online courses for college credit and some amounted to not much more than reading assignments and online quizes. With so little contact with the instructor, they were hesitant to ask for help or discuss issues they had with ambiguous or poor test questions.

After taking this course, I totally agree with this one! Seeing things from a student's point of view is essential for a successful experience. As a teacher, you may think you have explained everything clearly and that your course is easy to navigate through, however, this may not be the case.
