-Ensure synchronous lessons have good quality auditory access and use the webcam, so the speaker's face is visible while talking

-Record lessons and share with the student so they have the opportunity to review the lesson at a slower pace or go over concepts often

-For synchronous learning, ensure that your teaching area is well-lit, with a solid background free of clutter, and that you face the camera so that your student has a clear view of your face to allow them to see facial expressions and use lip reading

-Choose a quiet place which allows for clear audio of the content you are presenting
