I appreciated the clarification of asynchronous and synchronous communication and delivery and the outlining of when each is most effective. The reminder that students who are expected to participate in something like synchronous participation when there is a large group may be hindered if they struggle with reading, typing, and/or processing which makes them less likely to contribute or benefit from the exchange.
It is a good reminder to make sure that feedback is phrased to encourage growth and participation and to motivate students to continue to offer perspectives and participate in the process of learning.
