  • Instructors should provide clear guidelines for interaction with students.
  • Establish policies describing the types of communication that should take place over different channels.
  • Well-designed discussion assignments facilitate meaningful cooperation among students.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • Set clear standards for instructors' timelines for responding to messages.
  • Discussions should be focused on a task.
  • Discussion groups should remain small.
  • Only at the end of all presentations did the instructor provide an overall reaction to the cases and specifically comment about issues the class identified or failed to identify. In this way, students learned from one another as well as from the instructor.
  • Tasks should always result in a product.
  • Tasks should engage learners in the content.
  • Learners should receive feedback on their discussions.
  • earners should be required to participate
  • Instructors should post expectations for discussions.
  • "information feedback" and "acknowledgement feedback."
  • Information feedback provides information or evaluation, such as an answer to a question, or an assignment grade and comments.
  • Acknowledgement feedback confirms that some event has occurred.
  • We found that instructors gave prompt information feedback at the beginning of the semester, but as the semester progressed and instructors became busier, the frequency of responses decreased, and the response time increased.
  • nstructors can still give prompt feedback on discussion assignments by responding to the class as a whole instead of to each individual student. In this way, instructors can address patterns and trends in the discussion without being overwhelmed by the amount of feedback to be given.
  • egularly-distributed deadlines encourage students to spend time on tasks and help students with busy schedules avoid procrastination. They also provide a context for regular contact with the instructor and peers.
  • Communicating high expectations for student performance is essential. One way for instructors to do this is to give challenging assignments.
  • Another way to communicate high expectations is to provide examples or models for students to follow, along with comments explaining why the examples are goo
  • Allowing students to choose project topics incorporates diverse views into online courses.

  • . No matter what age, we are more likely to listen to someone if we feel we are listened to. And, I believe we are more likely to seek to understand if we feel understood.
  • Taking a page from a school project based learning activity known as Community Mapping, Koh and ISA teachers travelled by public transportation to meet ten student volunteers in their neighborhoods, which included Bayview and the Mission as well as Potrero Hill.
  • Students reported how much they liked seeing their teachers outside of the classroom. Teachers said that they realized just how easy it can be to keep their students at arms’ length during the school day, and with the real experiences of just spending one day out in their world, that distance is closing.

  • I naturally resist and feel uncomfortably confined by the locked down nature of the CMS… i mean really, is a “blog” that is locked into a CMS really a blog? No!!!!!!!! you can’t just call it a chicken when it is a duck!!!! Part of what makes it a blog is the fact that it is public – anyone can see it and interact with it. It also represents you publicly, belongs to you/you own it/it is yours to have and use, and to keep it beyond the end of the course and term - that is an authentic online learning activity! That is why i also thought it essential that the shared resources for the course be external to the CMS using diigo… i want my students to have access to the resources after the course ends!
