Denise, You make great points. You don't want the course to be about technology it needs to be about the content. Saying that, I think all students can learn to use the technology. It is important nontraditional students not assume that they won't have to learn the technology. We want everyone to be life long learners. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Robert, What a great post. You make so many great points. I agree the technology should facilitate learning much like the instructor does. The focus should be on the content, the technology just makes it happen. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Establishing a Teaching Pattern

Tony, I agree with you. Student centered still means student responsible. I think we do relieve them of responsibility and that is our fault! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Establishing a Teaching Pattern

Tony, You make great points. Communication is the cornerstone of good/great online teaching. I think we underestimate the importance of consistency. It provides confidence and relief to our online students. Good post. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Ellen, Great post. You are right. Usability cannot be a barrier to student success particularly when it is used as an assessment for the course. The validity and the reliability can not be dismissed. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
