Harold, Thanks for your input. The main thing with rubrics is to realize they help both the students and the instructor. The instructor will be able to be more consistent in grading and the students will understand the expectations.
Sharmalan, Thanks again for your input. It is difficult at times for instructors and students both to transition from the F2F classroom to the virtual classroom. You bring up very good points.

John, You are right about them having different expectations. Learning more about our students helps us to become better teachers. Thanks.
John, Glad you learned from the content in this module and will implement things in your online course. Everything you do to establish better communication, helps tremendously. Thank you.
John, Right on target. The assessment of what technology is available is a great place to start. It's also important to know what the technology can do for you and your students. Technology should not replace the instructor, but facilitate communication and learning. Thanks!
Marissa, Right on! Content and process are important and then the technology that assistas in the development and delivery of that content. The pattern of communication is important and should be developed by each instructor. Although everyone may do it differently, the students need to have communication frequently. Thanks again for your input.

Marissa, You are right. Online instructors do have to assist online students to become successful online, but they need to help them take steps to help themselves. Becoming a facilitator of learning is difficult sometimes. We like to "dump" content on them instead of helping them learn. Thanks for your input.
Marissa, Technology communication tools are so important. Thanks for your input. Making sure you use a communication tool all students can access or use, is essential. Understanding that you may be communicating with groups and/or individuals is also important. Thanks for your input.
Harold, You bring up some good points. The message must be delivered in a timely manner, be in a form that can be easily understood, and take into consideration the content begin delivered. Nice job.
