  6. Challenge: How to make online classes experiential in the same way face-to-face classes can be? How to create lively, interesting discussions that relate to current developments in our disciplines.

  7. Scenario! When the Nobel prize winners are announced, many of us enter class and discuss the poet or the scientist’s work with students. Using online audio/video clip posts, this sort of experience can be simulated! You post a clip, then encourage students to listen and respond in a discussion or chat room.

  8. Interest Links “Interest Links” are audio or video curriculum connections that don’t add more reading to an online class.
