Work and Life Balance

Michelle, You learn quickly that you can't and shouldn't be a 24/7 online instructor. You deserve the "clocked out" time. You have learned a lot from your experience as an online teacher. Thanks for sharing.

Rubric Role

Michael, "Optimal" is a good word to use when describing rubrics. Rubrics should, as you said, provide students with clear guidelines so there is nothing to question. Thanks!

Strategies of Workload Management

Emily , You are very generous. I do not give my students my personal number. I have the 24 hour rule and I stick with it and I also have a FAQ bulletin board for posting any questions any time and give extra credit to students who answer each other's questions. That works for me. Thanks!

Creating Boundaries

Emily , Checking email twice a day is a good system. Many instructor check every hour or 10 times per day and that's really not necessary. A 24 hour policy is standard. Nice job.

Collaboration and Workload Strategies

Lisa, I do too. I think students feel more like they are a part of a class and not just a number when you address them their name. It's just professional. Thanks!

Time Management Skills

Emily , I read the other day that To Do Lists are one way people avoid reflecting on what they have done. ;-) Maybe that's why I make so many lists. Get it done and move one. ;-) But, we do have to reflect on what we have done and how well it was done. Thanks!
