I like the Rubric created for managing student communication over different media.  This module has given me some ideas for monitoring and managing my discussion boards in my on-line classrooms.

I believe one of the best methods for contented students in a classroom is to have effective and interactive communication with the students.  Students must know what is expected and how the tasks are to be completed and the instructor must be able to effectively and regularly communicate with their students.  I have learned different ways to enhance my communications with my students through this module.

Although we may be doing on-line instruction, we still must be extremely aware of sexual misconduct that can occur through the on-line platform and in our courses.  As we all know sexual harrassment comes in many forms including lewd and inappropriate jokes and conversation.  This module helps break down and make clear VAWA policies and how it relates to the Clery Act also.
