Tips and Techniques for adding components to your Telewebcourse...
Assignments
- Use publisher content or internet-based searches on key topics
- Create assignments involving small interactive groups
- Consider alternative assessment methods; multimedia projects, portfolios, or journals
Discussion Groups
Use the Short Answer Questions and Expanded Analysis Sections from the Faculty Manual to invoke class discussion online.
- In the course management system you are using, create groups in the Discussion or Bulletin Board area for each episode - assigning one question or topic to each group
- Each student must visit this area to discuss or debate the issues, then collaborate to prepare a joint response, or individual response to be shared. (assign points)
- Most course management systems can track time spent in the discussion group, which can be graded as 'classroom participation'
Self-Test Questions
In a course management system:
- Consult the instructions for your institution’s system
- Format and import the questions.Try Respondus Lite for formatting
- Insert the answers and appropriate feedback
Stand-Alone web site
- Create a form for the questions - using text boxes/radio buttons
- Contact the server administrator to supply a cgi script for emailed results
- Provide the student's answers on a Self-Test Result page
