I think it is quite beneficial to hear from experienced online instructors who can give us advice and guidelines on what works best. We all learn from our mistakes and accomplishments and I welcome any responses I receive.

I have found in life that most people like to talk about themselves and also like to hear about other people. I am sure online is no different than in person when it comes to hearing about other people, especially as they are classmates even online.

I feel it important to learn as much as I can about each student on their first day in class. I feel it also helps them to learn something about each other and I really encourage good communication with the instructor and other students.

Today, everything seems to revolve around computers. The idea of gaining an education online seems to fit in with the times. You learn at your pace and gain knowledge you would never have if you worked a full time job and went from work to a school for training. This is the ideal way to learn.
