Hi All,

one struggle I've encountered online is giving effective feedback to students on work without seeming overly critical. Many online instructors shy away from detailed feedback in their courses which makes my job more difficult because students don't expect the amount of feedback I give.  In fact, I give the same amount in on ground classes, but students then have the opportunity to ask me face to face about my comments and we have an established relationship which is positive.  How can I achieve this online?  How can I encourage other instructors to give detailed feedback as well?
