I had some trouble getting connected to the internet so the following comes part way into her presentation. Information can be found on her website (to fill in the blanks) from eVolve:
Some of her Policies
At beginning of assignment make students provide 2 additional locations where they can access the internet if their computer crashes.
All assignments must be posted as Word (.doc) attachments
She does open book test--My reaction--Hallelujah, validation that someone else does this too!
Personalized exams so it will be apparent if anyone other than the resitered student tries to take them.
Online exams must be completed by the deadline. A practice test
Teach plagiarism because many truly don't know what it is so need to reteach it. ESPECIALLY FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WHERE TEACHING/LEARNING TECHNIQUES WOULD BE CONSIDERED CHEATING HERE BUT BEING COLLABORATIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE
Wikipedias will not be accepted as a source in bibliography
You should become acquainted with the Library -- give them LINK
If you find yourself in violation report it to the instructor
Late work, failure to reuqest timely assitance or missed exams will not be excused unless there is an extenuading circumstances.
The policies, course content, and assignments in this course have veen evaluated for clarity, consitency, and appropriateness by the onlie academic design team.
NOTE FOR CLC: Get the online committee to determine language for our classes that have gone through review/evaluation process
Place the responsibility on the student and test them on it. They must get 100% on the quiz before they can continue on in the class. I LIKE THIS ONE VS HOW I CURRENTLY DO IT WITH
Design respectful coursework that encourages honorable learning. Not too challenging to be discouraging but not too easy to be boring/engaging.
RESOURCE ON DIFFERENTIAL LEARNING: CAROL ANNE TOMLINSON sp?, DIANE HEACOCKS sp?
Assignments:
Require Personalization (how the topic applies to the students life or carerr, how class discussions influenced the student's position
Require original work--ineerviews, experiments, personal applications
Relate assignments to assigned reading
Give choices of both traditional and non-traditional products (write a paper or design a web page, write a wikpedia entry, prepare a powerpoint, movie, webquest (encourages integrit by respecting studetns strengths)
Allow students to "power up" when completing assignments
Ask fellow-up questions as poart of the assignment
After your paper has been reviewed, you will be asked a follow-up question on a point of interste and will have 24 hours in which to submit a response. The response must be between 500-800 words in length.
Paper techniquess
set a deadline for the topic ( a last-minute topic hcnage many indivate a paer for puchae has been located)
Requires a written justification for the topic chose (why important to you)
Require students to submit quoted test from each source or a copy of the source with referenced text highlighted
Require answers to supplementeal questions related to essay/paper
Discussions
Face-to-face is kind of linear (MY NOTE: IN COMMUNICATION IT IS TRANSACTIONAL SO IMPORTANCE IS IN TRYING TO MAKE ONLINE TRANSACTIONAL SIMILIAR TO F2F)
multi-faceted
require personal appplication
relate to course
"How did the characters in the television show "Happy Days" portray the societal norms, values, and generational conflicts of the 1950's What issues of that time period were clebarted, mocked, exaggerated..."
Tests
open book
ask higher cognitive thinking
randomized
if they miss: make a test with one correct answer one almost correct two other incorrect answers
