I´m totally agree with Azael, related on to be clear about Holistic definition in teaching.
Because, as a study of whole filosophy teaching, holistic means to analize every part of something but at the same time taking every part of the objetc and create a complete study of that, in this case, this topic :The Teaching Model.
It is so easy to read each point and explain them, however it implicates more than words to be pratice and make a real change in a model teaching throug practice.
well I can refer this topic with a Company (as a analogue) because the teaching´s parts are conecected between them, and it is an integrated process likewise, the principal part depends on another, like a pyramid, for that, it is important to mantain a balance with all elements: persons involved on it, mechanisms, types of learning and resources.
The teacher always is a facilitator, a guide of the learning process, not only that, surely is an active character full of knowledge to develop skills in him/her self.
The case of students is important to take in consideration, because, their personality implicates responsability with learning and take action about anything, also they must be respectfull and be concious that work team, is not easy, but they are part of society and of course they can realize that working in groups can be more efficiently in many ways.
When we are talking about Independent learning, we are referring to many ways to support that, everyone has the same importance which helps to get objectives more efectevly.

Reflections!
Es importante considerar que el papel intelectual del maestro que imparte educacion a distancia es impredecible, ya que su formacion con esta tecnologia lo lleva a tener aun mas responsabilidad del proceso de aprendizaje, pero tambien a tener mas libertad para trabajar.
en esta unidad aprendí mucho de lo que se debe hacer para planear y analizar los distintos aspectos que conlleva la educacion a distancia, ya que detras de todo un plan, carta descriptiva o curriulum hay una gran gama de investigaciones asocioadas a lo que es la educacion en esta modalidad, ademas de que implica una gran dispocision al analisis.
Plan of online course
PLAN OF ONLINE COURSE
by Karen PDA.
Every online course requires a previous study that contains the main elements to put in practice a real e-course, such as: units, topics, objectives, methods and methodology, techniques, assignments, practice, evaluation, general and specific bibliography or references.
It is important to take in consideration to clarify every single definition before start to give general information about the course because, as a recommendation the description of any course it must be clear and concrete.
These are some points to help to design an online course:
1.- The objectives have to be based on students needs and make sure about the previous knowledge from them.
2. It is very important to specify the objectives into the course, and make a review of every point on this.
3. The learning goals also depend on the institution or academy where students are learning. Because it could be adequate to the professional development.
4. The activities may have to be active and focus on investigation by themselves because an online course doesn’t have space limits and the learning process it not occur at the same time.
5. Make a time line: because in this methodology the chronological steps are very important to have a begging and end in order to be more organize and facility the evaluation.
6. Use appropriate material, in this case authentic if the level is superior. The bibliography has to be contemporary with true fundaments.
7. Make sure that the internet system is working well, sometimes the uploading way is slow. It implicates patience to technology.
8. To have a control of Platform and group discussion. It is necessary to post the date and time to start everything that can involves all participants.
9. Give a guide of text recommendation: or not only texts but some material that it could be useful after every unit and improve the knowledge.
10. giving information about the type of evaluation and specify if each unit has a different way to evaluate, for example an essay, an interview, an exercise etc.
