Focused Research• Learning is Social and thus interaction throughout
the course is critical
• Feedback-especially in discussions is extremely important to students
• Course training for students in the use of the technology, navigation, etc should be offered
• Limit the number of students in discussions groups
• Need more opportunities for non-forced group interaction
• Pictures of classmates to help create connections
• Faculty shouldn’t make assumptions about tech skill levels
