Tomi, Right on. This is exactly what I just posted on another forum. Thanks for your input. Dr. Tena B. Crews
Jerry, That is why it is so important to take the time to develop good rubrics and excellent criteria. The summary and personalized comments are also important to the students.
James, Timely feedback provides opportunties for the students to improve immediately. When the comments are directed to the learning objectives and helping students improve, that's the best situation.

James, When courses are set up for instructors, it is very important that the designer and instructor communicate to make sure the learning outcomes are begin assessed. You do not want a disjointed course in which the instructor has no way of making necessary edits by themselves. Instructors still need some flexibility in the course.

Tomi, Clear, concise and communication with a positive tone are essential. Through this communication, you can learn what the students know and what they yet need to know. Communication is the key.

Tomi, You are so right. With clear expectations set and communicated and organization/navigation, the students can more readily meet the learning objectives. I do love the "road map" analogy. Thanks!

James, It is essential for those who do develop the course to communicate well with the instructor so that it is evident that learning outcomes are actually being assessed. When all constituents communicate with each other and the students are taken into consideration, then the course will more appropriately developed. Thanks for your input and sharing your experience.

Douglas, Ease of use and course content many times does determine how to develop an online course. Thanks for your input.
Albert, We do have a various group of students. The more we can do to make sure they have access to the technology and understand the course expectations, the better. Encouraging students to engage in IM and live chats is an excellent idea as well. Thanks!
Jerry, Excellent. Giving the rubric up front is perfect. When students understand the expectations clearly, the better. I like that you also give a summary of your comments as well. This is helpful. Thanks!
