  1. Academic Integrity Online Assessment/Plagiarism

  2. Communication • Synchronous (can be recorded) • Asynchronous • Email • Discussion Boards • Blogs • Wikis

  3. Advantages of Asynchronous discussions • Allow students time for deeper thought and refection –Driscoll (1998) suggests that asynchronous methods provide a more flexible timeframe for students to reflect on what they have learned as compared to synchronous delivery formats. • In a F2F class keeps the discussion going between class or when class is too short.

  4. Discussion Board – Best Practices • Fostering discussions • Promoting Higher Order Thinking • Creating Community and Collaboration • Assessment

  5. Fostering the discussion • Frame the topic – Divide large topics into logical subtopics (Ko & Rossen(2001) • Asking open-ended questions and encouraging students to reply with more personal thought to ensure that the email dialogue is interactive rather than just a one-way instruction (Chang, 2009). • Professor - Establish a pattern of frequent response- several short bursts per week instead of one long session(Ko & Rossen(2001)

  6. Encouragement and support • Facilitate student participation – get them talking to each other – respond to group themes not individuals(Ko & Rossen(2001) • Responsibility online instructor to nudge and encourage the construction knowledge (just like in a face to face classroom). (Christopher, Thomas & Tallent-Rennels, 2004). • Consider a “quiet time” when other time intensive activities are occurring in the class (Ko & Rossen(2001)

  7. Be aware of cultural patterns(Ko & Rossen(2001) • Make it clear if participation is mandatory Don’t force personal experiences try “Can you relate to this to your own experiences or one you have heard or read about?”

  8. Individual Personalities • Quieter students more likely to participate in online classes than in F2F class – information exchanges more prevelant in asynchronous format by providing opportunities for shy or non-native speakers to express themselves (Delahoussay & Neiheisel, 2005: Funaro & Montell, 1999).
