Teaching Online? Here is a tip which is even good for Face to Face!

I was reading an article about making an online course great and this one tip really stood out to me –

“Explain the purpose of the various modules and content to the students, as well as why particular technology is being used for the various activities. As one instructor observed, “The students need to understand what it is that they are reaching for and how we are going to get through.”
