Patricia, I love the passionate educator. Much of getting the content to the student is packaging it to be received. The nonverbal communications avaialble in the f2f sometimes provide a sinificant boost to the message being delivered when the teacher has that intuitive 'way about him/her' to maximize the message through emphasis, deemphasis, voice inflections, facial gestures, etc. As online instruction continues to develop, the persinalization of the delivery is one of the emphsized components to make the medium more effective. Keep the vision - and have fun. Dr. S. David Vaillancourt
