Bryan & Bill, Thanks for continuing the conversation. Developing rules for interaction with assigned participation points helps me encourage the students to be more involved in the social interaction of the online course. Also, I have students introduce themselves through a home page and then have students review all home pages and find something in common with at least three other students in the class. They post on a discussion board the things that have in common with the other students. This helps students begin to develop a relationship with others. This process can continue in a variety of ways.… >>>

Bryan, Thanks for your input. I do some type of diagnostic test (typically a pre-test) at the beginning of each course to try to understand where the students are at the beginning of the course. I also do a post-test (same as the pre-test) to see what they've learned by the end of the course. This helps me adjust the course the next time. The tools and keeping communication frequent are also key components. Nice job.
Charlotte, Right on! Being a role model through the communication process is essential. Communication involves providing the syllabus, setting expectations, developing rubrics, using the discussion board, email, etc. Thanks!
juanita, When making the decision on the type of technology, take the students technology skills, your skills and what you need done in the class all into consideration. Cost if a factor, but more importantly, figure out what you need the technology to do and how you can do that in a simplistic way. Nice job.
