Eryn, I agree to a point. I have had students particularly nontraditional students that want to take an online course but do not want to learn the technology as they just want to talk on the phone. There has to be effort on the part of the student to learn and we can't give them excuses either. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

ANTHONY, Great answer and they are part of the LMS! It is important to utilize the tools in the LMS, as the student has easier access and it is password protected. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
