Jeffrey, Great post! We do need to re-evaluate our own strengths and weaknesses on a regular basis. Isn't that what good assessment asks us to do? Look at gaps and "close the loop"? We should do that with all of our courses. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Anthony, What great ideas! You can do a "midterm" course evaluation. We have always suggested it for our f2f courses I think it is a great idea for the online course. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
