  9. THE Question … • “How do you know that the person in your online course really is the student listed on the roster?” TSL Institutes Winter 2009

  10. A Good Answer … • “Think of a friend with whom you exchange emails on a regular basis. For the sake of the example, I'll call the friend Sam. Now imagine that Sam's mother, in an attempt to "dig" for information about Sam (your friend), discovered that Sam had forgotten to log out of his email one day. What if Sam's mother, in trying to learn information about Sam's weekend plans, wrote an email to you posing as Sam? Do you think you would know the difference between an email written by the real Sam, your friend, and an email written by the "imposter," Sam's mother? If so, Why?” Love, Renee.
