  I read with great interest Chapter 5 of the book Teaching Online, focused on creating an effective online syllabus. I was particularly grateful for the author's insistence on effectiveness, and for dividing the chapter in sections that tied that effectiveness to time management: calendaring, specific dates, managing student expectations, late assignments, mapping both geographical and time issues, among others. Great resource. http://cw.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415997263/pdf/Teaching_Online_Ch_5.pdf

  This is an extremely helpful chapter. I intend to use it carefully next week while designing a draft syllabus. I tend to leave spaces open in my traditional syllabus for readings that may be added as our conversation develops or subtracted as we come up against time constraints. My face to face students do not mind this, but I think I will need to be more disciplined about holding to a fixed syllabus in the online context. I am still thinking it all through.
