Chezree, Great strategies. I again am trying to use more calendaring to push to their technology. I can actually get that to their phones. This is such a challenge. Students need to see us as a resources not as an "enemy" to their success. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Identifying Principles of Learning

Miriam, You are right. If you want students to improve, you have to provide timely feedback. They should not have to guess where they stand in their learning. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Identifying Technical Skills

Jacinda, You make a great point. So many times in online learning, the students only know to contact the instructor. It is important for students to know the resources they have to access. Also, students, particularly Millennials tend to ask questions before looking for answers. We have to wean them from that. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Identifying Technical Skills

Kimberly, I agree with you. It is interesting to hear when institutions allow students to take an online course when the student does NOT have access to a computer. We cannot set students up for failure. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Developing Technical Skills

Victoria, Your institution has an interesting way to introduce students to education. I think we have to be very careful with the idea that anything that does not have synchronous interaction does not have value and will "hurt" students ability to learn. Using good communication strategies can go a long way in providing the interaction students must have to learn. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Kimberly, I agree and hold them accountable to good writing skills. You may want to provide them with "good" examples and "bad" examples of writing. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Developing Non-Technical Skills

Jacinda, Great post. I find that students may know the consequences of plagiarism but don't think it applies to them. This needs to be communicated regularly. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
