Hi Anne, I like a lot the organization of your course. Nice flow.
Two suggestions here: (a) You may think about moving the example of online discussion to the beginning, before your lecture. Research shows that engaging students in case analysis/problem solving will help create the needs for listening. (b) Your lecture page still lacks depth. You should think about highlighting the core idea of learning community: social construction of knowledge, and the importance of discourse that not only leads to knowledge sharing, but knowledge transformation and advancement (use what we've read in Week 12, Bielaczyc & Collins, 1999; Scardamalia...).
