MeriAnn, At least in the first connections with the student. I find that some instructors don't know that they have other resources in the institution available. That really can lead to frustration on the part of the instructor. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
MeriAnn, We as instructors also need to be aware of resources that institutions provide for online learners. More and more resources are being created because of the pressure of providing an "equal" experience to the f2f environment. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
James, If you are lucky, your institution will help you provide some of the resources that helps you facilitate the different areas, the problem is you become the point person. Nice comments Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Tracy, LOVE THIS! yes we do master some. I agree if we are to continue in academia and do it well, we have to be flexible! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Mara, Well, I think students share more than they used to. They share all with facebook, why not share with you! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Mara, Wow, this does give you time to focus on student interaction. So, are students just graded on the assignments? How do you distinguish your online courses from traditional correspondence courses? Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
David, Great insight! Even in an online environment, students can determine problems with an instructor. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Cynthia, What great insight. What great commitment. Your arms must be sore switching the different hats :) Facilitation does take work and time but is well worth it. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Aida, What a great post. You are right, when we become to verbose, student don't read the details. It doesn't matter whether we are talking or writing! "KISS" Keep it simple, Students ( sometimes I add stupid) Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Aida, Do you put this information in multiple forms in multiple places? Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
