LaBoore, Great strategy! Do you explain how they are to do that? I am finding that students don't know what to do with feedback? I know that sounds crazy. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Improving Communication Skills

Francis , I agree with you. The online environment is an opportunity to work on their written communication skills. You can develop a writing development plan individualized for the student using technology resources available such as a writing lab, Youtube clips etc. You don't have to reinvent the wheel, there are already resources out there.
