Teacher Presence
No matter your style you still have influence

Tools of the trade

Video Note
Video is an intimate medium
Candor goes a long way
Embrace the challenge
No cost right now, just video upload restrictions, and it must be turned on by admin
Video note shows up as option in "insert stuff"
*Side note that D2L is working on a closed caption option for Video Note to get fully accessible player in next version

Discussions
set the tone
encourage the insertion of stuff (encourage students to use the "insert stuff"-on far left in edit mode)
must post first (checkbox)
wrapping it up (action researach-Nancy Gana??)

Can now do mobile video through mobile app to eportfolio

Assessment Feedback
Pre-pacckage quiz question responses (or even specific answer options) or boilerplate responses can go a long way
Compliment Sandwhich (lead with a compliment, criticism, compliment)
Dowload once, track all changes (can dowload all dropbox assignments in a zip so you don't have to do individually--big time saver, and then can reupload and it will re-align!)
Assignment Grader (app so you can grade off line, score, use rubrics, audio feedback, video feedback, and then syncs) (For instructor to be able to write ontop students would have to submit as pdf)
Anything that stops the discourse is stopping the learning

Intelligent Agents
Replacement Strings
Crazy cat videos
Set it and forget it

So you can preset an email (ie score less than a 70 recieve an email saying here's some additional resournces)
