I found your blog post insightful and enlightening. Your ability to see both the assets and deficits of online and open learning shows that you are able to work towards a balance of the two. Personally, I am afraid of these deficits when I think of myself in the coming term and learning all online, and I was wondering if you had any insights into how you would battle those deficits, more specifically, the disconnection of emotions and intentions throughout communication? Are there any resources that help teachers bridge those gaps? I also connected with your description of the need for teachers to constantly adapt to changing communication modes, and learning preferences.
