Best Practices
Overheard at the Rest Stop
Planning
- Sally Kuhlenschmidt teaches an online course (http://edtech.tph.wku.edu/~internet)
that's designed to give college instructors the experience of
learning online while exploring issues of using the Internet for
instruction. Participants are encouraged to experiment with
Internet tools while building their own online course.
- A nursing instructor at a community college posts course
learning objectives and a description of the target audience and
assigns credit for participation in a course discussion board.
Traveling
- A business teacher uses a chat room for office hours.
Students can also use the chat room to provide feedback during
online exams.
- A San Diego State professor has student teachers participate
in a WebQuest (http://edweb.sdsu.edu/courses/EDTEC596/
About_WebQuests.html) to learn about public schools.
Webquests provide the student with a specific objective to
accomplish online that will build a deep understanding of the
course content.
Integrating
- Indiana University faculty using the Internet for
instruction post online reflective papers about their
experiences as teachers (http://www.ind.net/distance_ed/
fdpapers/1997/).
- Some schools, such as University of Georgia, Colorado State
University, and Northern Kentucky University, provide a
preferred course software and technical support to make moving
online easier.
