Lillian,
You are absolutely correct about getting feedback from students. I couldn't agree more!
One of the things I have noticed about the online courses I teach. Online synchronous discussion becomes like no discussion you get in the classroom. It seems that, when students have time to take in the question and research it, the quality of the responses you see is much higher than. The downfall, however, is that the back-and-forth banter of the live classroom is lost a bit; but not always. I have seen some pretty involved threads. :)
Thanks for your comments,
Jane
