Authoring Online Course

Ginny, I like your system of the 5Ws. When I teach my business communication course I tell the students to use the 6 Standing Soldiers which a previous colleagues used to use. They are who, what, when, why, where, and how. The 5Ws or 6 Standing Soldiers all help you think about what you're doing and how you're providing information to the students. Nice job.

Generational Roles

Linda, These are basic guidelines about the generations that may be helpful. It's not to say that someone might not demonstrate different attibutes or a combination of attributes from different generations. However, it seems as though you are really thinking about how to connect with the students in various ways. Nice job!

Generational Roles

Brian, I always do some type of diagnostic test/survey to see what the students know coming into the course. This helps me understand what topics I need to cover, not cover or spend more time on. Providing any assistance to students that you can is important. Thanks!

Technology Communication Tools

Brian, Right on! Making sure students can access the course, know where to submit assignments, how to communicate, etc. is essential. And, across platforms is even better.

Developing Meaningful Feedback

Chelsea, Thanks for your input in this forum. You bring up some good points. The rubrics have to be specific enough so that students understand what is expected, but not so specific that they don't have to "think" and just "dump in" information into a report or assignment. Communication is the key. Thanks again.

Technology Communication Tools

Tanya, Right on! Communication is essential. Making sure the technology tools aid in communication and do not hinder communication - that's the key. Nice job.

Rubric Role

LE, I love rubrics. They are just as helpful to the instructor as they are the students. There should be no surprises in grading for either of you. Nice job.
