Lyn , Great post! You are lucky that your university provides tools that provide different delivery options. Consistency in the use fo technology is important throughout the course and throughout a program as it provides the consistency students are looking for. When students have to learn different types of technology for every course it can be frustrating. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Improving Communication Skills

Michael , You said the magic word: feedback. I am going to quit calling what I do grading I am going to say evaluating so students understand the importance of the feedback not just the grade. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Student Self-Analysis

Michael , The self awareness is so important. You make a great point about that. When we create student centered learning we have to make it student responsible. Self-awareness must be a part of that. You hope that you introduce and/or reinforce skills that they will take to the next online course or to their profession. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
