U.OSU.EDU as an Instructor: Scaffolding Learning • Goal: students will use discussion forums for both task-based and socio-emotional engagement • Introducing students to the forums • Expectations for student engagement in the forums • Instructor role in the forums
Impressions of using u.osu.edu • Goal: students will use discussion forums for both task-based and socio-emotional engagement • Affordances from instructor perspective • Cross-section interaction of students • Forums function as resource center • Easy to use for students • Constraints from instructor perspective • Limitations on connecting in forums • Limited ability to incorporate media beyond images • Concerns about “forum creep” • How students are using the discussion forums • Approach from task-based, prompted interactions only
