Speaking of the generational gap, I have experienced students texting assignments, discussions and even emails with truncated words and icons. Signs of the times and yet, not universally acceptable communication depending on the environment, purpose or audience.

Civility in any and all communications is simply common sense and professional behavior and interaction.

Effective communication is essential for success in each and every environment, academia and elsewhere.

Good information for beginning and veteran online instructors.

A good primer for beginning and veteran online instructos.

I have and do both asynch and synch online instruction. Most prefer asynch simply due to scheduling and flexibility. If/when synch is used, it needs to be rewarded to incent students to utilize it. If there is no reward, the attendance suffers.

There are many technology tools and mediums to use, some provided and others available from a multitude of providers.

A good presentation to include and consider on course and student assessments.

A good review of effective and proper assessment tactics and actions.

The module presents some good pointers on online interaction and engagement.
