Sally, Thanks for your organized thoughts. Facilitation and communication are essential. Nice job.

William, We all remember our first online course. ;-J. It is a wonder we continued. Ha! You are right in chunking your content and your toolbox idea is one that will benefit others. Providing your content in verbal and written formats is excellent to help make you course more ADA compliant. Nice job.

Nathan, I like your cause and effect connection. I think you are so right. Thanks for your comments.

Nathan, Right on. It is important to ensure consistency in your evaluation and makensure students know what is expected in your course. Nice job.

Jennifer, Glad you enjoyed the module. The information you provided is helpful to others in the course. And, you are right, respect is the key component no matter what generation. Thanks!

Nathan, You are right. Assuming is not a good idea. And, when students get frustrated, it is not a good thing. Providing good communication in a timely fashion is essential. Thank you.

Sarah, I like your clear and quick response. ;-) You are right on track. Students must get clear direction and consistent, quick feedback. You may have to define what "quick" is. My idea of quick is within 24 hours. Thank you.

Jennifer, Thank you for your organized and good information. I'm glad you enjoyed the module and learned from the information. Civility and a great place to start. Setting the standards for netiquette helps students learn how to "act" onlnie and when you model those behaviors as well, it's "doubly" good. Communication is key to a successful online course. Keep up the good work.

Harold, Thanks for your input in this forum. Communication with students and using the proper tools to do do is extremely important. As you have noted, feedback is also necessary to ensure students are on track and progressing in their learning. Thanks!

Jennifer, Thank you for your GREAT thoughts. I can see that your organization and how you word your information will be helpful to your students. I am glad you enjoyed this module. This information will also help others in this course. Adobe Connect has been one of my favorite tools and has helped me engage students online, have students do online presentations, and I've held online office hours. There's a technology out there for everyone. Thank you again.
