LTTO Session #1: A Discussion About Discussions


Don't miss the first LTTO (Learning to Teach Online) session! In our first LTTO session we will explore the role of discussions in online learning. Karen Ford will be our first FFM (Featured Faculty Member). Karen has been teaching online for many years and continually revises and improves her online discussions. She recently completed a sabbatical, during which she reviewed the literature on online teaching and learning. She will share the many different ways she uses discussions in her courses, her methods of evaluating discussion participation, as well as what she learned during her sabbatical about best practices in synchronous and asynchronous discussions. You won't want to miss it! There will be some great handouts too. Join us on October 26th at 11:00 in TC 211B.
