I have taken multiple ground courses and reconfigured for online. I agree with the statement that an online syllabus/course must be more dynamic. In the classroom we have instant feedback to our teaching style, assignments, and participation. Online there is an inherent feedback delay, and shortcomings are often not discovered until the students submit their assignments. I try to keep students on track by providing "Hints Announcements" each week highlighting what the key concepts are for the week. I then reinforce this with the assignments (or vice versa if the assignments are static from the school). Rodney C.
