I find the course interesting in that online learning is in essence, the collection of data that is gathered while learners are engaging in the online experience. This course allowed me to view online learning as an opportunity to enhance student performance. I have learned that fewer learners will drop out or fail if the instructor keeps the student engaged with the online learning process. If a learner isn't faring well throughout the course, then he/she is less likely to be motivated to remain enrolled. As a result, a learner will simply stop participating. Your thoughts?

Do you think that one of the challenges for effective assessment is the grading process (Rubrics)? The reason I state this, grading is and can be socially constructed based on institutions, students and future work experience.

Misunderstandings are more common with email than other communication methods. In helping students to communicate effectively online I always tell them to double check what for grammatical errors by typing their discussion boards in a word document before submitting. In general, do you think that student discussion board messages should be short and to the point or do you think that students should post a reasonable response?

In order for the student to be successful with online learning the instructor needs to use real life scenarios as part of the classroom. Giving the student reasons for personal accomplishments will help set their future career.

One item noted from teaching online for some time, an instructor needs to actively communicate and collaborate with the online learning environment. It is without saying that communication technologies can potentially engage learners as long as the professor is communicating as well. Institutions and educators should promote the use of communication tools to help students participate and boost engagement.

As an instructor it is important to discuss how to apply for jobs and create resumes. Most students do not know how to do this.

I have seen the instructor go into class with the wrong book on more than one occasion. I think that when this type of problem arises the instructor should let the Director of that department know. The instructor needs to review the material before stating the class. Doing so will prevent this from occurring.

I think it is important to provide the students the tools they need for success.
