Dawn,
Your sentiments are in agreement with the general concensus for this thread that instructional responsibilities are approximately the same for f2f and online and that fulfillment is likely to be more difficult for online. Additionally, you point out that the affective (emotional) component may have a stronger positive impact within the 'actual' classroom, especially when it comes to meeting deadlines. I believe this is a valid insight. Do you think there may be ways in which online instructors could be more effective at tapping into that component?
