Discussion Boards
Provides way to learn how
  students are engaging with
  your course materials & give them an
  opportunity to discuss the materials at length.

Democratizes conversations - if you require
 students to participate in the forum, make
 participation part of their grade for the
 course, and provide guidelines for the
 expected length and substantiveness of
 postings
Best Practices for Online Discourse
•  Setting limits and being explicit with students
•  Establish a set of guidelines for
     appropriateness.
•    Be very specific about the quality and level
     of posts you expect.
•    Model the types of communications you
     want your students to use.
•    Structure discussions in advance, & connect
     the discussions to your course objectives.
•    Shift your role as participant.
Blogs vs Wikis
Blog: an online journal with new entries
  appearing in sequence as they are written
  Blogs allow students to post reflections that
  can be shared and commented on by all
  members of the class.

Wiki: A collaborative website which
 can be directly edited by anyone
 with access to it and is continually
 modifiable
My Assessment Portfolio (MAP)
MAP is the assessment system students use to
 create electronic portfolios, or ePortfolios,
 using the online program offered by Chalk
 and Wire (chalkandwire.com/lesley).
