Creating High-Level Interaction in Online Courses: Perspectives from Quality Matters and Elsewhere

James Loftis, Arts & Humanities Division

Online courses (either hybrid or fully online) present many obstacles for high-level engagement that are not present in conventional face-to-face courses. This presentation will examine the nature of the problem and present strategies for promoting student-student and instructor-student interaction at the higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. A major focus will be strategies for managing and grading online discussion forums in ways that promote active participation and foster skills useful in other public online forums. We will also look at the Quality Matters standards for evaluating efforts to promote online interaction. Participants will be invited to share their own techniques for promoting interaction and ideas about how teachers should be evaluated in this area.

Students’ Cell Phone: A Tool for Higher Education

Vincent Granito, SS/HS, and Dinah Hunt, TERC Ashland

Typically, faculty members become frustrated when students use cell phones during class to make calls, text, or go on the internet.  However, new educational tools allow phones to be used to promote learning.  This presentation will look at “Poll Everywhere” (a clicker system that uses students’ cell phones) and “Today’s Meet” (a back channel chat system conducted with students’ cell phones) as options to be used in the classroom.  Participants will be shown how to use these systems and discuss ways to incorporate them into the educational process.
