• Adequately prepare for each class session, which may include, but is not limited to, reviewing/creating appropriate material for instructional delivery, appropriate assessments and classroom activities

This can be accomplished through regular announcements in the News forum, instructor contributions in forums and journals, scheduled chats, substantive feedback on student work, lesson summaries, and email and/or messages to individual students.

Assessments may include a variety of activities or assignments that are completed in Journals, Blogs, Wikis, Assignments and Forums.  These alternative assessments provide an avenue for instructor feedback to the student and do not rely solely on automatic grading in Moodle.
