The Time Invested for an Online Course

German , Good example with "plan the day's lesson and interact with students that night only". That is a powerful statement and one hopes that an instructor has more planning than that! Shelly Crider

Is Cheating the Same?

German , Hybrid courses are really up and coming and are an excellent way to help those students who do not feel competent on the computer. Hybrid is a good way to keep cheating down as well! Shelly Crider

Sergio, I have found that the more communication you have with the students, the more they login to your class. If the instructor can send out a "tip" for the week, such as a new technology or a new website, then the students have something to look forward to. Shelly Crider

John, Students learn differently, so different books make a difference. Many of the older students will want a traditional textbook especially for a capstone class. Shelly Crider
