The Look and Feel of an Online Course

Steven, I think having a common study area is important. I have taught online classes for over 10 years and believe me, some of the students I have had would have benefited from this concept. I do try to suggest study in the same place as this helps with remembering the content, but calling it a common study area.....I really like that. Shelly Crider

Sabrina, Critical skills are certainly missing in many courses that I have seen, online and traditional. Students want quick assignments and not necessarily to have to think about the answers. Shelly Crider

Dr. Henrietta, Good point! I love the idea of adding pop up questions to Power Points. This is a great way to really keep students tuned in! Shelly Crider
