Tanya, You are right. We now make all of our freshmen in the College of Business to take a seminar called Professionalizing your Social Media. We want them using it responsibly. We also want them to understand the power of the tool in the business world. Professionals use it and monitor it all the time. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Successful Online Learning Techniques

Constantinos, You and I are "on the same page" in thinking. I follow Chickering and Gamson's principles of good undergraduate teaching and they were created in 1987 before online learning was modernized. Good teaching will transcend any delivery method! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

LE, You make a great point. We as educators need to realize we can have down time. We also need to realize we can separate personal social media from professional social media. I want down time too! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Different Roles for Online Facilitators

Russell, Sharing info about yourself is such an effective way to build that rapport. Share your experiences that tie into the content. I also have students to post their course questions to a general area. Students who answer the question get participation points. This will build classroom rapport. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Establishing a Teaching Pattern

Russell, I do think that you need to explain content, explanations and guidelines in multiple ways and continually point students to these course elements. I use recordings, links, and text within the LMS. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
