I really enjoyed your write up, and the hexagonal structure of your infographic is nice and eye-catching. I agree with your point on the role of the online instructor being different and yet similar […]

I agree with you your observation that the course designer is not necessarily the instructor, which presents certain challenges. It is so important to have the ability to make a course your own to fit […]

I was trying to open the link but for some reason is not working. Have you inserted it as a link or just copied and pasted it? I really want to see your discussion activity.

I agree that there is too much clicking back and forth between discussion posts. There have been so many times where I lose a post that I wanted to comment on or forget which ones I have already read. […]

You did an excellent analysis of how well the four elements of Keller’s ARCS model apply in your audited course. MOOCs are definitely constrained by the fact that so many students are enrolled. […]

I really liked your performance task. Having the students make their own videos works well in an online learning community, while at the same time hooks them in. Also, your graphic organizer is […]

I love a good graphic 🙂 I actually like the idea of using formative assessment as a means of reporting student learner characteristics. These skills are skills our students often need in order to […]

I’m curious if the need to provide parents (or others supervising student progress) regular feedback on their children’s engagement with the […]

I enjoyed learning more about the Scagnoli model. I can understand how difficult it is to design a MOOC to address the interests, […]

Experiencing and seeing failure is one of the best ways to learn. It is too bad your organisation does not have a more constructive way to evaluate teachers.

Some teachers are willing to do so more than others but for some more might be at stake. In the private sector where I have […]

I agree – the willingness to take risks and be vulnerable – and to be open about it, helps others feel like that it is okay to jump in as well. Kate also talked about this in her post, with ideas about […]

I totally agree with you but I would argue that it is not just online teachers who fail in this regard. I have been a student in many a class where the instructor is just teaching off of another […]

I agree that a teacher’s main roles do not change with online, but their methods of how to create a suitable learning environment definitely do. Based on my experience as an online student and t […]
