Theran, Open communication can only occur when students feel comfortable and safe. Therefore, if you are doing that with your students, you have developed a good community within your classroom. Nice job.
Theran, We do need to be upfront and honest with students and serve as a great role model when using technology and communicating in a professional way. Nice job.

Ellie, Yes, the rubrics can help students more clearly understand the expectations. I do enjoy the "road map" analogy of the rubric. Thanks!

Roland, Thanks for your input. We do all communicate differently and it's great to try and understand how we communicate to move the conversation forward. Nice job.
Russell, I have taught courses in which compatibility has been a big issue. It's good to provide troubleshooting guides to assist with this. Thank you.
Tyra, The visual component is something students and instructors alike have difficulties with when they begin online learning. It takes creativity to move beyond that. Thanks!
Jessica, The LMS I use allows us to use surveys that are anonymous as well. The students can then feel more comfortable in providing feedback. It's helpful. Thank you.

Jessica, Thanks for noting how you communicate with the class as a whole vs. individual student messages. It makes sense. The 24 hour rule is acceptable and being professional in your communication is awesome. Thanks!

Theran, A welcome email is a great start. There should also be a "Start Here" button so students know where to go the first day. Communicating through email and the LMS are typically the way online instructors build in communication. Thanks!
Theran, Keeping the student involved in interactive discussions, assignments and projects. It's a great opportunity for them to learn from others and we learn from them as we assess their work in connection to the learning outcomes. Thanks!
