Faculty Involvement

…while all three types of interactivity are important (student to instructor, student to student and student to content), it is critical that student - instructor communication plays a central role in course design for all learners.

–R. Croxton June 2014

Instructor Availability

I loved this course!• "My instructor was awesome and was always there if you

had any questions."• "...every course I have taken has been great and the

professors have all been attentive and responsive".• "I really enjoyed my online course with [my] professor...

he was responsive to my individual questions and he always replied in a timely compassionate manner.”

…not so much

"Although the instructor had organized the course well on Blackboard, I could never get a prompt response...”

My… teacher on the other hand, is very distant and not very helpful whenever I try and reach out to him.

More online courses, please!

“These courses are great I only wish that the required in-class credit could be achieved online instead. I am taking on-line for a reason so having to be at the school for me is not an option. Knowing I will have to make other arrangements to finish my degree is a little stressful. If I could be there I would but I cannot so every course I have taken has been great and the Profs. have all been attentive and responsive.”

Again…

“The online class format was critical to my completion of an Associate's Degree, and I believe that it will continue to be necessary as I continue my education through the Lakeland/Kent Technical and Applied Studies Partnership Program. Online courses help individuals like me achieve their goals and balance a busy work/family life schedule. Please keep up the good work!”

And again…

“I have enjoyed taking online courses. It fits with my busy schedule / lifestyle and I can do my school work at varying hours, where if I were on campus, I would have to be there certain days and hours.”
