 om/ut  An online course is like walking into a foreign land with an en
 tire map laid out, but having no sense of the land’s origin or how t
 o navigate the terrain. How the instructor formats and interacts with 
 the class will ultimately determine the student’s travel experience.
  The purpose of this presentations to provide an understanding of how 
 the elements of an online course are integrated such that they form a 
 cohesive whole that creates easy travel based upon instructor presence
 , appropriate feedback, and easy navigation for students.  Extended Ab
 stract  A good online course has elements that do not singularly exist
 , but rather has integrated elements that are part of a fluid, dynamic
  experience. A good online instructor works to ensure that each elemen
 t of the course builds upon the course objectives and works in conjunc
 tion with one another, rather than as separate pieces. Online courses 
 can be impersonal and flat, or they can be vibrant and robust. The fee
 l of the course and the experience for the student will chiefly rest o
 n the instructor’s ability to provide a succinct, clear, accessible,
  course with guided direction—in other words, an accessible map made
  by a mapmaker who serves as the tour guide.  Instructor Presence – 
 The Mapmaker. Instructor presence is vital to create in an online cour
 se, because without it, the class becomes an impersonal experience gui
 ded only by text and the other electronic medium.  Instructor Feedback
  – The Tour Guide. Instructor feedback is one of the most vital elem
 ents of an online course. It is interesting to note that instructor fe
 edback is also a vital part of the aforementioned instructor presence 
  Navigation – The Map. Lastly, a map is only as useful as it is acce
 ssible. The legend, the key, etc, all must make sense and be relevant 
 if the map is to be useful.\n\nFor more information visit https://utmi
