Different Roles for Online Facilitators

cynthia, You are right! It is probably more. We do have much to do but the important thing is to be able to lead students to the answer; we don't have to know it all! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Summative Assessments

Michael, Yes, these are great ways to use the data gathered from the summative assessment. I love that you use the term "GPS" for the course as that data can be used for that. (I may use that term). This will allow you make the adjustments in the learning. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Facilitating a Connection

Robert, You are right. Students need to know there are specific outcomes that must be met with the microblogging exercise. They need to know that it isn't busy work and it isn't just added on to their other work. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Media Site Facilitation and Use

Robert, You know, this may be the time that students who are more familiar take the lead in the class. Or pair students with other students to help with the transition to the technology. It works in online too! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
