I do the same thing now, as I mentioned in one response. I felt that I was doing too much "hand holding" even for a first term class, as I was not setting them up for success and to be able to utilize the resources (including weekly and assignment feedback) properly. I also have my weekly chats recorded, however this has caused some push back as well, with some students complaining that I am not willing to help when they ask a question.....unfortunately this is not mentioned until end of term surveys, not giving me the ability to share with them that part of the learning process [especially online] is to seek out information on their own - especially feedback. Thanks for your insights. kam
