Session Description
It makes sense that an instructor’s primary focus is on the learning outcomes of the course. But, what about the ancillary skills that students can master as part of the course? For online courses, these skills are extremely valuable in the job market. With the drastic rise of telecommuting jobs over the past decade, students will benefit tremendously if instructors promote these skills. The behaviors that help students excel in online classes are the same behaviors that will help them excel as telecommuters/remote employees, or as someone who communicates with coworkers/clients from afar.
