I concur. However, I have found using other questioning as to how will the student apply the information they have learned? Has been effective. Those who do not respond, I typically send a private message and ask them to participate.

I lerned that carfeul consideration is necessary when moving ground learning items to online learning envrionment.

I learned that although there are many technologies available for the instructor, not all are suitable to meet the needs of achieving course objectives. Also, that even if you have technologies that have several functions, it is not necessary to use evey function. The goal is to only use what technology that is most suitable to achive your objective and teaching style.
