Shanel: Thank you for sharing the kinds of technology you adopt in your courses. Learning technologies of that nature go a far way in coming as close as possible to simulating the traditional classroom experience. Having said this, I fully agree with you on the importance of both students and instructors having the desired level of preparedness to use such technologies. We should always keep in mind your first point that not all competencies can be satisfactorily taught and measured in an online environment-----a confirmation of your second point in the above.
