  1. Keeping Faculty and Students Engaged in the Asynchronous Environment Jacqueline C. Hagerott, Antonio R. Emanuel and Betty K. Young Franklin University, Columbus, Ohio

  2. The challenge to keep everyone current and on track Asynchronous learning: lack of coincidence in time.

  3. Methods to meet the challenge • Create activities which require the student to log into the course web site on a regular basis. • Before the class begins, have each student create a profile. • Have students pose a question that requires cohort members to respond. • “Just talking” topic thread

  4. Methods… • Teaching tips • Regularly scheduled BB posts • Feedback • Alternative research material • Quiz/exam hints • Assignment clarification • FAQ’s

  5. Methods… • Protocol • Establish course objectives • Establish deadlines • REMOVE THE THREAD AFTER THE DEADLINE • Design grading rubric • Create an online grade book • Announcement page • Build an assignment schedule • Use the web course for primary communication rather than e-mail

  6. Successful Communication is the Key • Establish the ground rules for open and free online communications • Create a safe learning environment • E-etiquette - The basics • No exclamation points (Can be perceived as threatening!!!!) • No use of all caps (IT IS RUDE AND IS LIKE SHOUTING) • Use your given name rather than a pseudo name • Keep posts brief and to the point • Encourage students to stick to the subject of a particular thread • Never publish private e-mail • Don’t clutter the virtual classroom with, “I agree, me too, nice job, etc.”

  7. Online Communication Means… • Listening and demonstrating that you are listening • Incorporating ideas into an expression • How we express our idea is as important as the idea itself • Communication forms perception

  8. Expression + Communication = Perception Research shows that those who express themselves effectively are viewed as better communicators. (Knapp & Miller, 1985)

  9. How do I know what I think until I see what I say? • Online Communication involves written expression • Words carry tonal messages online • Think, feel, believe, know, understand, accept, suggest
