I do like the LMS systemt that we use. The e-books that are part of the course already have lab based assignments assignments that we have to upload. Since our class has lab on campus the lab based e- assignments come in handy when class is cancelled. 

Asynchronous learning has provided me with a new group of students. I have noticed that some students need more motivation and constant reminders to complete assignments on time. Asynchronous students have to self motivated and have time managment skills. 

I like the idea of using blogging as a way to mentor students. I thing it would be very beneficial and engaging for new students. 

I would like to have the microblogging added into the presentations the students present. 

I think use of social media platforms have enhanced student engagment. I oftern show Youtube videos of correct behavior and then incorrect behavior for the medical students. The students always seem to enjoy spotting the incorrect behavior and it gives the class time to discuss thier responsibilites in the work force. 

Respecting all students and by treating students with disabilities like everyone else make them feel more included than anything. It is very frustrating for students who have disabilities to always be treated as having a disability. 

I learned something today that I thought was the most beneficial. You have not fulfilled your stated mission until you have made your services available to all who would like to avail themselves of what you have to offer. 

The term Disability has a huge of students who fall under the umbrella as disabled. Students with disabilities must be given the same opportunities as any other students with accomodations oftem made by the institution. I always thought the institution was mandated to perform such task. 

Accomodating students with disabilities has only evolved over the years. Technology and the use of asynchronous classes has allowed institutions to accomodate more students with disabilities. 

With copy rights becoming such a problem, I thing institutions should develop the bulk of the course material but leave room for instructors to add copy right approved or public domain information.
