Future Career
In order for the student to be successful with online learning the instructor needs to use real life scenarios as part of the classroom. Giving the student reasons for personal accomplishments will help set their future career.
Doris,
Connecting real life situations/scenarios into the classroom helps students make necessary connections with the content. It's a great learning tool.
That was a fantastic response Doris! I work in the world of medical coding . I like to encourage my students to log on to the coding associations website to find helpful tips. Then I ask them to comeback and share it with their classmates. If makes discussions more interesting.

Genieve,
When we can provide students with Web sites and other resources to help them learn the material, they are good resources. And, as you said, can make the discussions more interesting. That's a great "side effect." Thanks for your input.
