MARIE, I find that interesting also. I make it a point to review test questions to see who missed them. If the majority of the class misses a question, then I have to review my teaching to see if it is my fault in not covering the content appropriately. I also check to see if the question was presented well. It is our responsibility to review assessment and to make changes in the content delivery or assessment as appropriate. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

MARIE, What are some of the challenges with teaching online and assessments? Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Raouf , tT is important to make sure that you do get the proper feedback. It is so important to make sure it assesses what it is suppose to assess. Assessing technology assessment tools is more complex if done right. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

MARIE, How awful for a student who may have anxiety about a test then not have the software or application that works. We as instructors must do our homework regarding the technology and even that can come back to "bite" us. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

MARIE, I agree with you. You want to make sure students are comfortable with the technology. It amazes me how many of our high stakes tests are given with technology students have never used. Oh the anxiety! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Garry, You make great points. It does help when everyone in the program is using the same technology similarly. We as educators also have to keep current. It is easy to go from pioneer to luddite very quickly. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Nancy, You make a very important point. The tech help must be prompt as the technology is also the facilitator. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Gracie, True, have you had a connection with someone who knew someone, who knew someone. . . . Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Kevin, that can be such a frustration. You are so smart to have them work on a routine. You may want to work with them to create an electronic calendar to help them plan their weeks so they can work on their educational responsibility. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Miriam, How do you make sure they know what you need? Do you have any technology orientation that helps them learn? Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
