Great ideas of modeling Civity with rubrics and examples

Lots of helpful suggestions on how to look for pros and cons when deciding on communication tools.

The importance of using multiple sources and methods for evaluation.

Great reminder to try to always provide meaningful feedback to improve learning.

The importance of focusing on scaffolding to build on prior knowledge.

Course consistency and the importance of the ongoing process of testing and revising.

I plan to copy the RESPECT model for netiquette into my current online classes.

Student centered learning, focusing more on the students not the instructor.  Allowing students to construct knowledge rather than simply receiving it form the teacher.

Creating a CoP can help build a positive learning environment and help to build on students previous knowledge and skills.

I like the idea of getting students to share their strengths and weaknesses and finding strategies to help them use their strengths and improve their weaknesses.
