Miriam, I like your CPA! Make sure that your students understand that you won't be online 24 hours a day. Set your work hours and put it in your course and stay to your work hours. Balance your workload. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Technology Assessment Tools

Eric , That is a great post. You make a great point about layout of the interface. It is amazing to me that we give tests online to students who never have taken a test online, students do need to be familiar with it. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
