I have found that having students submit videos of skills and self-evaluate before they submit has been very valuable for learning.

I am going to start collecting a Learning Objects library that I can reference to and build it as I find quality items.

Class introductions are as important in an online class as it is in a traditional face to face class--maybe even more important.  You only get one chance to make a good first impression.

I am prompted by this material to find out if some of this information is covered in the college wide new student orientation session.  This would be helpful for the students to know IT basics and resources if many of their courses are going to be on-line.
