"This is my first time taking a class where all the communication is online. I think it’s great, I have the best of all worlds. I can come home after working all day, then after relaxing, I can logon to my friendly P/C and get into my online class and study. And, I have the opportunity to 'chat' with one or more of my fellow classmates."

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.
