Bakhriya, Can you elaborate on this in terms of how it can help? Have you used the technology yourself with students? Dr. Ruth Reynard
John, Good points ! It is te combination of individual and community learning that works so well ...it also means that the group and f2f sessions need to be different from the individualized opportunities. Dr. Ruth Reynard
Randall, Very true - it also provides access to various kinds of resources and interactive opportunities - this helps more students experience success. Dr. Ruth Reynard
Daniel, Good points. This delivery mode also balances synchronous and asynchronous interaction which enhances the learning opportunity for students. Have you found that combination effective for students? Dr. Ruth Reynard

Rose, Good points here - how have you seen the Internet change how you teach and how your students learn? What differences have you made in the design of your instruction to suit these changes? Dr. Ruth Reynard

John, Yes, and it provides tools for learning moments to be captured and distributed so that nothing is wasted...great instructional tool! Dr. Ruth Reynard

John, Yes, so the learning context is widened vastly...great example! Dr. Ruth Reynard
Sheila, Very true, which is why various methods should be used with any group of students. How do you address this kind of diversity in planning your learning assessments? Dr. Ruth Reynard
Sheila, Great observation! Yes, this is a result of the Internet and the self-directed skills the use of that technology develops. It does not mean, however, that instructors should not still teach skills that students will need to continue to learn on their own. Dr. Ruth Reynard

Rebecca, Yes, it certainly is easier to access and use - integrating social media, however, helps students understand the importance of networking and connections to learning ... Dr. Ruth Reynard
