“I particularly enjoyed the one-on-one responses from my instructor...attention that is not usually given in a traditional class setting. I was able to interact directly with the other students in the class, and respond to their opinions, comments and even assignments. That would definitely not be possible in a "regular" classroom as instructors' comments and reactions to students' work are usually never seen by other class members.”

An online instructor plays a vital role in developing and maintaining an effective online learning environment and must possess a unique set of tools to perform successfully. Some highly seasoned instructors from the traditional classroom environment will easily adapt to the online model, while others may find the transition challenging at first. Reflect on your teaching style, circumstances and technical skills to see if teaching online is right for you.
