As described for previous principles, online environments can be configured such that those expectations are made known, in clear terms, to the students. The online environment can offer extra incentives for high quality work from students. Have students create their own web pages, and link to them from the class page. Publish student assignments on the web. Respect for different talents, ways of learning.
Different people learn in different ways and have different skill sets.
Instructors need to understand general categorizations of learning styles, and how to best reach the majority of learning styles. The online environment offers a rich and varied set of methodologies to better meet the needs of diverse learners. Make sure any prerequisites for the course are clearly stated and enforced.
