Class Discussion: Getting Students to Respond to Each Other's Comments April 23, 2014 By: Maryellen Weimer, PhD in Teaching Professor Blog Issue 1: The classroom discussion is going pretty well. Students are offering some good comments and more than one hand is in the air. What about this idea? This same faculty member mentioned that those of us who’ve been doing academic discourse for almost as long as we can remember are sometimes a bit blithe in our assumptions that students know how to do it. Agree or disagree with it and say why. The “hold on to it” request can mean two other things as well. Why do students so rarely comment on the contributions of other students? Issue 2: “Talk to each other.” Try this: assign yourself the role of the recorder. If class size permits, seat students so that they face or at least can easily see each other.

Here are a few benefits: What else would you add? This infographic is as much about flipping online as it is about online teaching in general. Is the concept of flipping possible online? I suggest that the flipped classroom expects students to have two phases- 1. information gathering and 2. doing. What do you think?

Take college and university courses online completely free In recent years massive open online courses (MOOCs) have become a trend in online education. The term was coined in 2008 by David Cormier, manager of web communications and innovations at the University of Prince Edward Island. The first MOOC was created the previous year, at Utah State University. MOOCs are designed like college courses but are available to anyone anywhere in the world, at no cost. Coursera is perhaps the most well-known of the online education facilitators. EdX is another non-profit course site created by founding partners Harvard and MIT and based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. MIT has their own open courseware, where most of the materials used in the teaching of almost all of MIT's subjects are available on the Web, free of charge. European institutions are also getting in on the act. For those looking to learn a language Duolingo offers completely free language education. Other sites, like Open Culture, are not affiliated with tertiary institutions.
