Conversations with Faculty - NSCC eLearning Faculty ZonePat Bouker - Accounting Faculty, A rich Discussion Forum
This is a 20 min video (wmv) file where Pat Bouker talks about his strategies for creating an active discussion forum in the course ware. Pat's classes have had as many as 2500 discussion posts!
Highlights:
1. Complete, detailed syllabus (4 or 5 pages long!)
2. Less than 24 hour turn around time for responding to both emails and homework 7 days per week.
3. Optional in-person orientation. The orientation summary is collated and posted to the discussion.
4. Students help and encourage one another.
5. Pat checks email and discussion 3-4x/day as he finds that his immediate response to students encourages their participation and success.
6. Pat posts information about campus activities for students such as scholarship opportunities.
7. Pat feels that high activity in the communication dept of an online class indicates that the class is working. Low communication indicates to him that the class is not working and that he needs to take some additional action.
8. Assignments are set up to be collaborative and he encourages that the students work together.
9. Pat experiments with different electronic tools on his goal to recreate the on campus classroom environment in the virtual realm.
