Building community and facilitating good communications practices in a fast paced environment is extremely difficult, because it seems that everyone (instructors included) are focused on content more than anything else. Yet EL105 on Communications in the Online Classroom was able to help me discover other options, especially at small group level, to enhance the communications process and to relieve some of the inherent stresses in small group projects. A great course to consider, especially if you see students struggling with becoming engaged in the course.
