Keeping good records

I work for an online university so I don´t ever meet my students face to face. However, all of us who work with the students keep a common online file where we post anything we communicate to the students and anything they communicate to us. I don´t write to a student without going to their file to see what is going on with them so that I can personalize my messages. I am trying to get my colleagues to make more detailed notes about what students tell them so that we can engage each student on a more personal level.

Gail,
I commend you for using this approach because as you know it is easy to get lost as an online student. So the more you know about each student and are able to use that information to personalize the learning experience for them the more engaged they are going to be. This will enhance their learning experience and well as increase their retention of the material.
