Preparation is essential to provide a conducive
learning environment
Knowledgeable of the content
Galbraith (2004) states that knowledge of content is associated with the "characteristics of successful adult educators" (p.98).
Adults are motivated differently as we mature; more independent and controlling over their learning (Spear’s model) (Galbraith, 2004).
Summary
![Page 12: Onine Instructor Interview](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55a23dbd1a28ab146e8b4643/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Model behavior
Teachers who genuinely model positive behavior will project credibility and students will begin to model this behavior with their peers through high levels of collaboration.
Communicate effectively
An effective teacher must also possess good personality characteristics, interpersonal skills, and positive behaviors (Galbraith, 2004).
Use humor Interpersonal skills are essential when interacting with
students to enhance learning (Malik & ul Ain, 2012).

Use real-world examples (Garrison’s model) (As
cited in Merriam et al., 2007).
High instructor presence
In Brydges, Nair, Ma, Shanks, & Hatala’s (2012) study of instructor-led and self-regulated learning, rapid skill acquisition and an association with increased confidence comes from immediate and concurrent feedback during practice.
