LE, You are right, the best way to ensure good communication starts with you. I have students that send me other instructors' emails and frankly they are embarrassing. You have to hold them accountable to those standards. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

LE, I like your comment that "self evaluation process sets a tone for . . . student success." The self analysis does help students focus on success. We tend to focus on the gaps but should focus on self improvement. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Jenny , True and many times we are the connection they have to the university. That is such an important role. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Donald, I agree with you. Many times the online instructor is the face of the university and is the only connection the student has to the university Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Donald, I am not sure that all students will think an instructor is fabulous by doing all of this. Our students see themselves as consumers instead of products and they want your three choice to only regarding them. I do agree with those three choices. I don't believe in zero tolerance as it disregards looking at an individual student holistically. I also believe in accountability in the students and holding them to it. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Dr. Glenn , I do use audio and video feedback and it is a very powerful tool for students. Students told me (research) they find I say not just what is wrong but why it is wrong. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Dr. Glenn , Well, I will actually say that for profit schools aren't the only ones. I think we have to have the discussion about poorly prepared students and self analysis plays that role. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Eman, How smart are you! Don't you think this helps students integrate their new found knowledge/skills in their professional careers. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Cally, You are wise to ask if the technology is working for the students. That makes so much sense. I also track students access and usage of the technology through my LMS. I find that very handy. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
