How and when do you schedule student training?
May 29 2008, 9:58 AM EDT How do you train students to get up to speed using Web 2.0 tools and navigating and contributing in Web 2.0 spaces? Do you find this valuable? |

RE: How and when do you schedule student training?
May 30 2008, 10:50 AM EDT At Columbus State, we use Blackboard to deliver online and hybrid courses (and to help with traditional courses). I would imagine the process is similar regardless of the application you use. I spend part of our first F2F meeting going over technology, demonstrating how to do certain things, and requiring students to practice in class. I also assign online readings that include written explanations of how to use the technology. By the way, our hybrid courses have F2F meeting times that are set and included on the master schedule that students see when they are registering. We can sometimes limit the number of meetings, but the F2F dates are established prior to scheduing to ensure students can meet that time. Still, because some students think that hybrid courses will be more online, some sign up and think they can get away with not showing up. For my hybrid class, that is a problem and the student will not succeed as I integrate online and F2F activities throughout the quarter. Do you find this valuable? |
