Evaluation

When we finally have the prototype of our program up and running, I am planning on having a graduated student help with the evaluation. This person would have taken the program in class and so would be familiar with the program. Do you see any downfalls with this? From a learner's point of view, I am hopeful that they would recognize what is missing as opposed to someone who does not know the material.

running an in class and e-learning concurrently

One of the reasons for taking this course is to learn how to effective make an online course. We are looking at two of our current programs to see if we can run an e-learning course at the same time as there is one going in class. We realize that this is not an option for everyone (time zone issues, work hours, family, etc) but for those where it would work, e-learning students would be able to video conference into the classroom and in class students would be matched up with e-learning students for projects. There are many pitfalls I can see, but I am interested in hearing what others may think.

STUDENTS REPORTING TO SCHOOL FOR FINAL EXAM

Should students enrolled in an on-line course be required to report to the school and instructor to take the final exam?

office hours

Is it possible to actually set aside specific ofice hours.

Group Projects

I had a student tell me how frustrated they were in being on a team in an on line environment. Apparently the other team members weren't contributing equally. How is this possible in an on line environment which tracks everyones participation?

Distribution to Multiple Locations

On line learning is our next big move, as we have multiple locations with a few students, and potential overseas applications as well. I'm a bit concerned about being able to deliver the education as well as we can in person, so I'm taking this course.

Online vs in classroom

Online classes are great for those who have busy schedules and families.

Course discussions

These are helpful to students in that they allow one to enter information at their leisure.

Chat rooms

Some students may have difficult accessing the chat room if this is something that they have never experienced.

Interaction

It is important for students to have verbal interaction with other students and the instructor.

Instructor and computer programer

Do the instructor and computer programer have to work together?

Online instructor Office hour

This is important , because students assume that Faciliators or online instructors are available all the time . Don't you think so?

Instructors are actors and online course can be a movie

These days younger people love to work with computer. Online courses with a good design can stimulate them even better than a real classroom and live instructor.

Getting Students to Get Involved with OnLine Chat

I think that in this day and age that most students go to online schooling because they can keep their current work/home, etc. schedule. I am wondering, however, since everyone has different schedules how an instructor can encourge students to participate in live chat. Does anyone have any thoughts?
