• The course design provides opportunities for appropriate instructor-student interaction
-
Michelle Jacobsen on 05 Feb 14When I completed my Master's degree, I commuted 2 1/2 hours one way once a week because I wanted the face-to-face interaction with the instructor. When I completed the coursework for my EdD, I did so in an online setting. I was pleasantly suprised that there was a very strong level of instructor-student interaction , and I do not feel I would have been successful in the coursework had this not been a part of the course design. I experienced first-hand the importance of ensuring the instructor-student interaction in an online format.

Ongoing and frequent assessments
-
I found this to be one of biggest struggles when I was teaching online courses. The courses I taught were 5 weeks in length, and being able to conduct ongoing, frequent assessments was a challenge. If anyone has taught online courses and has any suggestions as to how to best incorporate these ongoing, frequent assessments, I would be very interested to learn from you!
