Collaboration and Workload Strategies

LE, You may find it useful to use Remind 101 in which you can send one message to the students and it texts them all. Students tend to check texts more than emails nowadays. Thanks for your input.

Creating Boundaries

Lawrence, I always tell students that their emails must have the course ID number in the subject line (as I teach more than one course) and they have to address me professionally and use professional language. They must also "sign" the email so I know their name. Sounds like you are doing similar things. Thanks!

Authoring Online Course

Alan, You bring up some very good points. We are constantly learning and we have to think about what the students already know in combination with what they need to know and help them reach the learning outcomes. Thanks for your input.

Variations of Evaluations

Craig, The portfolio can be an essential evaluative tool in many courses. The students have to be given flexibility in the development of their personal portfolios to demonstrate their progression of learning. Thanks!

Collaboration and Workload Strategies

Jay, Right on. The chunking of information/content is essential. We have to help students get through the material in the timely manner and learn from the interactions through the course and their engagement. Thanks!

Advantages of Rubrics

Carla, Many people make the mistake of making the rubrics too limiting, but you can actually have a category for creativity and other components to allow the students to be creative. Good question.
