Selecting Appropriate Course Content

Kelly, You are right! You have to find a way to create and read new "cues" that will help in online learning. It may be creating learning quizzes that determine learning. It may be having them evaluate the course regarding comfort and ease of learning. We typically do these tasks with classroom discussion. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Selecting Appropriate Course Content

Beverly, I agree with you. It is about design and delivery. The smaller learning "chunks" have to be done. Do you think your f2f courses get better when you convert it to online? Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Different Roles for Online Facilitators

Kelly, You are correct. Teaching is a combination of many different tasks and skills. You have to also know what resources you have within your institution. You don't have to know everything, just seem like you do! :) Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Establishing a Teaching Pattern

Kelly, You make an important point. Asynchronous does not completely mean work on your own time in your own world. You have to establish expectation and hold students to them. Working with students to develop their own pattern of work can really benefit students. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Virtual Environment Technology Tools

krystal, I agree with you. You don't want the technology to be the learning barrier. I try to use technology that is within the LMS so students are comfortable accessing it. It is now always possible but I always look to the LMS first. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Virtual Environment Technology Tools

Beverly, I agree with you. It should not be used for technology's sake. Also, it is so much easier to use technology students can easily access such as through the school's LMS. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
