When writing this book, I asked my synchronous colleagues for ideas that have been proven to work in the synchronous classroom. The following people responded with their ideas: Kathy Reinke, James Mowry, Elizabeth Tracy, Vikki Hollett, and Rog Hiemstra. Some industry publications and websites also provided the basis for some ideas. These are included in Appendix G.
