Managing online communication with students

Email, announcements, threaded discussion, and synchronous chat are the most common communication tools used in online courses. There are a number of useful techniques that can be employed to make course communication more effective.

The OnlineLearning.Net Instructor training program includes valuable information on managing online communication:

Strategies for Promoting Discussion in Your Online Course (http://www.onlinelearning.net/InstructorCommunity/tips_oct2000.html)

Strategies for Effective Use of Chat (http://www.onlinelearning.net/InstructorCommunity/tips_sep2000.html)
