Teaching Online Course

Jared, You ask good questions. We have to know what we are teaching, who we are teaching to and how to assure they can achieve the learning outcomes. Communication technology plays a key role in this process. Nice job.

Authoring Online Course

David, Yes - we need to set the expectations up front with learning outcomes and course goals and through effective, meaningful assessment and feedback we should be able to determine that they did learn the content and achieve the learning outcomes. Thanks!

Technology Communication Tools

Kelly, I like communicating through the LMS and helping students get used to check the LMS daily. We do have to be careful to use the right tools and make sure the students can access the tools to get the maximum communication available through the tools. Thanks for sharing.

Professional Development

Traci, We do learn a lot from each others. Asking peers for input, feedback, or advice is a great way to learn from others. We also learn from students and formative feedback from them during the course can also help. Thanks for sharing.

Collaboration and Workload Strategies

Traci, Excellent. Students need to know when we are going to check email, the LMS, discussion board, etc. Giving them the 24 hour rule is good too. Some say 24-48 hours, but whatever your "rule" is, stick with it and communicate the rule. Thanks for your input.

Time Management Skills

Traci, Sounds like you are developing a system that works for you. It helps me to have two email accounts. The university one for work and my gmail for personal. I don't check my gmail account while I am working. Keep up the good work at using your time wisely.
