      I have had the experience of being an on-line learner with various instructors. Some courses were great and others were frustrating. I think it's very important to have had the student experience before being an instructor.

      One key component of on-line instruction is to facilitate student to student and instructor- student interactions. It is the responsibilty of the instructor to structure the course in a way that will engage everyone. Setting up the expectation for on-going discussion beyond single posts is critical.

  • Creates a learning community that encourages collaboration and interaction, including student-teacher, student-student, and student-content (SREB D.2, Varvel VII.B, ITS 6.a)
  • Knows the content of the subject to be taught and understands how to teach the content to students (SREB A.3, Varvel II.A, ITS 2.a)

      An instructor must have a solid understanding of the content that is being taught in order to determine the best methods of presenting the material online. Some content lends itself better to individual work while group work/discussion may be more appropriate in other cases. When providing content instruction, the instrutor must also be able to determine good online sources and tools from those that aren't great. Old online material or videos can often confuse students more than help them.
