    Class notes are, to borrow from a colleague of mine, "epistemologically weird." On the one hand, they are an individual account of what you learned during a class. On the other hand, if your notes are too individualized or idiosyncratic it means you will have likely missed what was most important.

  • Learning takes place in a social context, and encouraging student-student and student-faculty contact and interaction gets at the heart of student engagement in online-education settings.
  • Engaged students are more likely to take initiative, exert effort, and persevere during learning activities. In addition, when students are engaged in learning, there is increased potential that they will be interested, curious, optimistic, and enthusiastic5 — all positive attributes of a healthy, productive learning environment.

      at the heart of all instruction, i would say
  • knowing one’s instructors well has a positive impact on learning, which may in turn help with retention and successfully accomplishing the goals of the course and program.10 Encouraging student-faculty contact and interaction thus gets at the heart of student engagement
  • development of a culture of caring and trust needed for an effective online learning community.
  • social presence refers to the sense of another person as being “there” and being “real.”1

      achieving being there and being real in a large class is similar to online learning
  • Without a high level of social presence, students can feel isolated and disengaged because of a lack of communication intimacy and immediacy.
