It is so important to be aware of students' outside influences and pressures. We never know how someone is responding to life outside the classroom. It can affect how a student responds to classwork.

Active learning is very instrumental in the student's learning experience and the instructor is the facilitator of that process

There was good information on identifying the various behaviors but it would be great to identify briefly how to address disruptive behavior in the  course instead just referring to policy.

I have learned a great deal in how to engage the various learners styles via Synchronous versus Asnychronous 

How do you all engage students who struggle with time management and procrastination? I know I have lots of students who end up completing their assignments an hour or less before they are due and I can tell the work is rushed. Any tips on helping students understand that procrastination, especially online is a poor habit?

Students must feel connected to the instructor in the online learning environment so that they feel connected and a part of the group. 

It is important for faculty to get to know each student by observing, taking notes, and really learning each student.

Lack of face to face interaction

One of the challenges I face with on-line learning is how to handle personal, disruptive communication, as well as negativity in discussion forums.  How do you as an instructor address this issue?

What is your pattern of teaching?

The statement that was suggested to place on the syllabus: "This dynamic syllabus is updated and expanded with greater detail as each module is made available. Please check the dynamic syllabus often to stay current with all updates."

This statement suggests that changes can be made during a current course. 

My understanding is that a syllabus should not be modified during a current course session but can be modified, revised, or updated for the next session. These modifications are based on new evidence as well as feedback from faculty and students. 

Can changes to a syllabus be made during a current session of a course?
