Errol, I love your post! You really use the self analysis tools as motivation tools. That is so smart. You can look into your "crystal ball" to determine pitfalls of the student. Great technique. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Errol, You are also correct that the first thing we must do is be honest with ourself! We need to be able to realistically discuss our strength and realistically admit our weaknesses. Then create a plan of action for change. It is always a circle. . . never ending; continuous improvement. I think all instructors should to this regardless of delivery method. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

roger, You are so right! I if you only "take stock" of your personal strengths and weaknesses once, you only have a base point; we do pick up bad habits. Good teaching requires us to reexamine and reflect. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Different Roles for Online Facilitators

Shelley, That is true, Shelley. We are the "institution" to them. For traditional students, the development of virtual community does not usually pose a problem, with nontraditional students, it can be a critical problem. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Peter, I think we chose shoes because, well, I have more shoes than I have hats :). I think you make a great point that is lost on many of us; we are the school! I am going to have to think about that more. Great post! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
