Effective methods of student assessment

Hi Kristi- Thanks for your post to the forum. You are wise to vary your assessment techniques as students often perform better with a specific type of assessment, so you will be better able to judge their knowledge/skill if you include as many types as possible over the duration of the class. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Getting student participation in questioning sessions

HI Melissa - That's an excellent way to stimulate participation. You could also ask students to respond John's post. "That was a great suggestion John! Has anyone tried anything like that?" Best wishes - Susan

Getting student participation in questioning sessions

Hi Melissa - Thanks for your post to the forum. I too experience the brief flurry of activity on the discussion boards as a module opens online. Then, as you mention, "Where is everyone?" , and then the deluge of responses on the due dates. Oh well...... Best wishes - Susan
