David, You are right. They don't understand the importance of all the content and how all of it works together. I can be very frustrating. That is why course design is so important. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

David, I tend to teach more like you. Some institutions require synchronous session which tends to restrict students but many institutions feel that type of connection helps students stay in the course. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Student Self-Analysis

David, I love your first statement. It is so true. Students just set in the car. They don't look around and "process" what they learn and add it to the skill set. This really does pertain to the benefits of the student self-analysis. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

LE, Great post. Many times students need to know that someone is on their side. So many times students see instructors in more of an adversarial role and we don't want to be. We are there to be a guide and facilitator. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

LE, You make a great point. Yes, the LMS can be an alien environment. Do you or does your institution have a LMS orientation? If not, you can do one yourself. It may be wort your time. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
