Tina, Great post. LinkedIn is becoming such a powerful tool to connect. We make all our students go through a "hygiene" course. You were also very nice to say "belly buttons". I have heard other body parts. . . . :) Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Self-Analysis Inventories

Tina, Great post! Did you know research shows the best way to be a good online instructor is to be an online student! That shouldn't be surprising as how many times have we said we do something or don't do something in our f2f courses because of an experience we had in our on education. It is important that we learn from both bad and good experiences. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
