Write notes related to your online course audience, communication barriers and the context, conditions and consequences that may occur.
My audience is international, and our biggest barrier is language. Our organization tends ot be ethnocentric, causing further conflict and resentment. I do my best to respect the contexts and needs of my leaners by being sensitive to their local practices and using simple syntax. Paying attention to these issues makes my distant Subject Matter Experts more cooperative because they feel respected. I think the learners also notice when someone from thier American employer has considered their needs when designing online courses. I also get to learn a lot about toher cultures, and I value the opportunity tremendously!

Sounds like you have a keen awareness of respectful communication with your international audience - great to hear!
It seems that you have virtual collaboration in your career? How is the team here working for you? Would be great to read a general update here. Thanks.
