Learning Objects

Lisa, Can you be more specific about what is included in these videos? And, how long are they? Do you know what software is used? I use Jing and Adobe Connect. Thanks!

Creating Boundaries

roger, Definitely. I tell the students (and provide an example in the syllabus) to put their course/number in the subject line and make sure they sign their email with their name. Otherwise, it will slow the communication process. Good point.

Work and Life Balance

roger, Love the use of you term: "confused instruction." I think many times when we start teaching or are teaching something new for the first time, we think we have it all laid out perfectly and the know the students will understand it perfectly as well. Then, we find they have many questions and we have to regroup and edit the communication and documentation. Thanks for bringing that up.

Technology Support for Students

roger, A central repository of information is a great idea. We want to students to be able to easily find the information they need when they need it. The combination of your announcements and live chats helps address many students' learning needs. Thanks!

Mistakes in Making Rubrics

Rick, The key to an effective rubric, though, are the criteria and that the rubric is connected directly to the learning outcomes. The students have to understand how what they are doing is connect to what they are supposed to be accomplishing in the course. Thanks!

Using Rubrics

Rick, I like using them too. Anything we can do to help the students be more accountable is a good thing. The consistency it provides also helps the instructor and students. Thanks!

Generational Roles

NICOLE, Right on! We all have a variety of students from different generations and we need to learn how to communicate and interact with all students. We also want to emphasize and utilize their strengths to interact with others in the class. Thanks!

Pattern of Communication

Lynn, Being timely in your communication is essential. The tone is something we all need to work on and be careful not to use language that can be easily misinterpreted. Thanks for your input.
