About me
I love teaching. Even though I love the face-to-face interaction in live classes. I appreciate the flexibility and easy access of online classes provide for students.

I found the class interesting enough. It provides a good background on why including technology is important. I am already including some of the strategies in my classes. It is good to have more information on assessments and portfolios. I have never been a fan of group work, but this course provides why it is helpful for students to know how to work on projects together

What are some good examples of diagnostic assessments for computer courses? I find people often overestimate their capabilities on questions and answers.

Has anyone used reflective journaling as an assessment of learning? I understand managing them could be time consuming, but could provide additional benefits such as writing improvement.

Are the emails themselves your documentation, or are you keeping a record of them somewhere else?
Thanks

As online instructors we may spend some time reaching out to students by email and/or phone. What are your strategies to make sure you are capturing this time for the school and for your own accounting purposes?

An online student can sign on anywhere, and complete their lesson or test. No one knows if they have someone there helping them with the answers or even have someone else take an exam for them. Knowing this, what can be done in an online environment to lessen the instances of cheating?

This is a very interesting technique. Students tire of just listening to lecture. Having an outline helps one stay on track and promotes retention.
