Update: 2012-02-17
Description
To engage students in active learning, Instructors are increasingly using online discussion boards to assess their students’ progress. There is great diversity in instructional approaches regarding the protocols, procedures and assessment criteria that should be established to maximize student participation and learning. A significant challenge concerns the tension between providing sufficient structure and guidance without negatively impacting student creativity and authenticity. In this session, participants will examine criteria and instructions for online discussion participation, as well as, see work samples and methods to share feedback and grades with students.
