Dennis,

You are correct. It's all about engagement, learning, and most importantly, application of what is learned.

Comment on John Cabra's post: 

John,

I offer the handouts after the guest speaker has completed their presentation. I want the students to be focused on what is being presented. Too often, when lecture notes are given to students, they do not show up for the presentation.

Michelle,

There is no perfect method. Find what works best for the course, then do it. Yes, a few students will be left out.

Shelia,

I open each course with this phrase: 'I am here to support your success.'

Comment on Andre Beaudette's post: 

Andre,

I meet the students where they are at any given moment in time, and then attempt to find the resources that support their journey through the course.

Comment on Andre Beaudette's post: 

Andre,

I refer to what you are saying as 'Language Specificity.'

What I share with my online students is that although they do not have to attend the GoToMeetings there will always be a synchronous discussion. In addition, there is learning that is not in a book or article.

Comment on Ann Williamson's post: 

Ann,

We are constantly updating what we are delivering. Unfortunately, we will not reach every student. Students also have to be willing to engage; at what level do they want to engage?

Comment on Amanda Dolan's post: Amanda, yes, I agree with you. E-learning is more challenging as an instructor, but students who are focused will learn more from it than from a traditional classroom setting.

Comment on Justina Morales's post: I, too, earned my MBA and DBA learning online. Learning online was personal and offered a deeper, broader learning opportunity. Online learning gives you the chance to test your thoughts with peers without having someone tell you to be aware of corporate culture and values.
