Edward, Excellent approach! The audio/video components of the online classroom can 'personalize' online instruction far beyond the usual text-based class. The advancement of technology is a key component to enhancing the online classroom experience. Additionally, the technological analyses that will be avaialble promise to add an analytic component to instruction that has not been available before. As many teachers agree, teaching is both an art and a science. The future of academic analytics may help bolster the 'science' side of that equation, as we increase our utilization of computer technology as an instructional medium.
