Effective Online Discussions
Two of our UBC colleagues, Cindy Underhill & Emily Renoe, will be leading an online seminar for the the Leading Campuses International Network (LCIN) next Tuesday called “Effective Online Discussions”.
The heart and soul of many online courses is the discussion area. However, those new to online teaching are often skeptical about the use of discussions, asking questions like: “Will students overwhelm me?” or worse: “What if they don’t respond?” This session will explore how instructors can approach online discussions including considerations related to the purpose of discussions, tips on managing student (and instructor) expectations, techniques for assessment, and tips on how to stimulate discussion.
Jan 22, 2008 1:00pm-2:00pm ET (note the start time for Vancouver will be 10am)
