Rakisha, I agree with you. Many times you can't change the objectives but you need to rethink and redesign delivery. Delivery is the key. It is important to know the power of the LMS to help delivery. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Virtual Environment Technology Tools

Catherine Affiong , You posted some interesting consideration. I keep thinking that students are using their laptops or desktops when in reality they could be using a tablet or a phone. I would like to know how comfortable students are in that type of environment. It does concern me that usually f2f students don't read and many of our f2f students are our online students!

Martin, Sounds like you have a plan. You will want to create the framework and develop the evaluation so students will know the expectations and you can evaluate them in an objective fashion. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Educational Media Hosting and Sharing Sites

Martin, LOVE DROPBOX! It is also a great tool to use professionally also. Many find LMS to be limiting so the Dropbox works. I find the Khan Academy to be a fabulous resource to enhance and enrich a course. I also like TED. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
