Thanks for sharing those sites I will have to check that out

Couldn't agree more a ppt that is not put together right can take the class in an entire different direction.  I have been in classes that the teacher just really reads from the ppt that was poorly put together and the entire class is upset.  It is great to have a ppt for the visual learners in your class and to make sure the students get your information but it should be put together correctly.

As an online professor how do you go about involving your students in giving feedback to your rubrics? I know sometimes I have trouble getting feedback just on the live chats.
I was just wondering how does everyone get feedback from their students that their rubric was good, bad, etc?

How often do most of you update your rubrics? My classes run every 5 weeks so I just wanted to get an idea how often I should do it?

How often should you update your rubrics for your assignments?
How would you encourage your students to communicate more with their fellow students on the topics for the week. For example, many times I get responses from other students to each other "good job" and that's it. Any ideas on how to get the students to communicate more in a discussion board forum instead of just a few words?
I have found that with my classes only being 5 weeks its very hard if I don't get them communicating in the first 2 weeks I lose them. I really try to use our DB area to pull them out during week 1 and 2 to get them communicating. I also have found that in our live chat sessions it is very hard to get them to communicate and participate. I have added polls, put questions during the live chat and they still don't really participate. Any suggestions on how to get them to communicate more during the live chat?
