The presentation discusses elements that foster success in online learning environments. It defines different types of online courses as either hybrid/blended, synchronous, asynchronous, or fully online. It addresses myths about online teaching by identifying statements as facts or fiction. Elements that help online learning include using Bloom's taxonomy, providing academic support like libraries and tutoring, ensuring the teacher is present and providing feedback, being clear on requirements, and maintaining consistency. The presentation also notes considerations for online teaching like verifying student identities and balancing instructor time.
