I am using YouTube more in my classes as a way to reach students. I give short "how-tos" for Weekly Topics. They can view them privately on their terms. The students seem to be reacting to me better in class, I get more people on the live chats. They are also more willing to reach out when they are having issues. In creating a shell or online course, the content needs to be standardized...I agree, but humanity plays an important role in my opinion. As an online student myself, at times, I feel very alone...how does course creation take this into consideration?
