I have noticed many of the disruptive students are disruptive not because they are trying to be but because they have already recieved this information and are somewhat bored. What I try to do is include their knowledge and understaing of the subject matter into the class discussion and usually their attitude becomes much better. What other methods are being used for this situation?

I utilize the content portion of the Portal for storing large amounts of information for students to study online. Some of the files must be zipped because of the large file size. Most students cam access this but some cannot. Is there a larger storage area than the portal here at Brown for instructors and students to utilize?

If you have taught a blended class, do you feel the students get more out of the online portion or the in class portion?

If tests are administered online, how can the instructor be certain the person taking the test is doing so in an academically honest manor?
