- Do the descriptions correlate to your perception?
The Instructor: I think it's important to note the role of the instructor because the role isn't just to create the course, but continue the communication process through the course, ensuring that students are receiving constructive feedback continuously.
The Student: I like that the definition places the responsibility on the student to keep the communication process going, in an almost continuous loop. If students would do this, I think they would be able to receive more of the individualized attention that differentiation try to create.
The Parent: I love the definition of the parent as the "coach" helping the student along the process and monitoring progress.
School Administration: I think their role relies often on the teacher's ability to ask questions and to ask for what they may need for their students to be successful in the online learning environment.
- How can they be expanded upon or described further?
The Instructor: I think the creativity of the course has to be with the instructor also. Not only that communication is happening, but how is it happening and how can the instructor build rapport with students while keeping the tone academic and professional.
The Student: I think the student can be responsible for creating and sharing class content as well.
The Parent: I think the parent has to take an active role and choose to be proactive instead of reactive.
School Administration: They must be willing to provide resources and also encouragement when needed when initiating a new online learning community.
- Are there other stakeholders within an online environment not considered above?
The Community: Although teachers won't be communicating confidential information with the community (FERPA) there are way to encourage community environment, through social media and other means of group communication, such as email blasts and blogs.
