      This sounds just like what we strive to do in the traditional classroom setting.  One thing that overwhelms teachers is "giving up the reins" of the classroom to the students.  What is the teacher's role when students are the default perspective.  That's what some struggle with.
  • who are making their own judgments about what's working in their classes

      This is so important.  The teacher still needs to be seen as a professional person who can use his or her judgement to best meet the needs of students.

      It seems that this has become very important in today's educational world:  using data to make decisions.  We do that in face-to-face courses, so it would make sense that it would be important in online coursework as well.
  • Assists students with technology used in the course

      With so many tools available, this one could be tricky.  The instructor has to have content and pedagogical knowledge, while also being savvy with technology.  That can be a tough mix for some.

      This is a really basic standard, but so important to remember in an online course.  The instructor has to be savvy with educational strategies and content but also with technological skill.

      With so many tools to use available, this is one of the hardest things for me.  It's important to remember that the tool just has to "get the job done" sometimes, not necessarily be the flashiest or most current.  If it works, use it, right?

      So important!  This is one of the benefits of taking the OLLIE courses.  I have already been able to realize some things that I should change, just based on being an online student now instead of the instructor.  Great standard.
  • Understands student motivation and uses techniques to engage students

      It seems that choice has a big part to play in this standard.  Having lots of tools available with technology helps the instructor to provide this choice.
  • Continuously uses data to evaluate the accuracy

      We focus strongly on data in face-to-face learning, so it would make sense that data should be used just as much in online coursework.  It might even be easier to get data in online coursework as a result of the tools available.
