Friday, October 26, 2007 | 9:10AM–10:00AM | Room 204
Session Type: Professional Development
If you want students to use online discussions, how do you avoid initiating every thread or simply counting all their replies? By defining and rewarding substantive Q&A (and requiring an online "participation portfolio"). Students will take responsibility for discussions and reduce your burden in assessing them.
