Communicate 3.1.2 News

As I have stated several times, good communication is extremely important to having a successful online educational experience.  This means communication on the part of the student and the teacher.  If the teacher isn't effectively communicating upcoming assignments, dates, and expectations then the students will be lost.   Below is an example of what a news page could look like.  The news page is not only a tool for communicating, but also a way to show a little of your personality.  Since your students do not see you face to face every day, it is nice for them to get an idea of what you are like as a person.  This is a very simple example, but there are many more things that could be done with this.
