A wonderful chance to bring their studies to life. In one class, students work through a case study in small teams. Public Bulletin Boards. They were directed to post their own ideas and then give feedback to 2 other students on those students ideas. This activity took place multiple times throughout the course, each time focusing on a different technology.
Students work in small teams to critique research articles that the team selects.
They are given a private bulletin board forum in which to complete the assignment. Five key concepts from the weekly chapters were posted on-line. Students were encouraged to submit their definition or understanding of the concept. Students were not allowed to use a dictionary or book definition. This helped students to see different perspectives on similar concepts, and also helped them to articulate meaning and therefore enhance communication.
