Online learning has the benefit of allowing instructors to focus on individual interactions with students. The instructor acts like a party planner, working beforehand to organize an engaging learning experience for students, opening up more time during the course for direct interaction.
Reinforces teaching essentials. During the design and development of an online course, subject matter experts consider the implications of learning goals objectives, assessment, instructional materials, activities, and interactions. This clarity and organization allows faculty to focus on content and students to focus on learning.

The online space allows for the inclusion of innovative technologies like video conferencing, animation and story boarding, blogs and social media, games and global perspectives. No longer confined to classroom and lecture, faculty are free to be creative with new learning experiences.
