I have learned Guidelines must first be provided and then the instructor must monitor the discussion to assess the direction and content. Without this monitoring, there is a risk of minimal discussion or too much unfocused discussion.
Collaboration is an important part of the communication process. It allows for reflection that leads to learning.
Communication, collaboration, and rubrics are keywords.
I learned the importance of utilizing a rubic to assess students. This provides consistentsy and transparency throughout the course.
The on line learning should be an asset to what you are learning in class. maybe it will give certin students a clearer view of what is being taught in class. With a rubrics, we can access students work easier and grade more effectively.
