Learning Online
Getting Started
Online
students are expected to be familiar with the Course
Management System (Blackboard) in order to fully
participate in the class (view announcements and course
materials, engage in discussions,
and submit assignments). We invite you to
complete this
first tutorial on
Getting Started with Blackboard.
Communicating Online
Asynchronous
– Discussion Board
Asynchronous discussions take the form of posts and
responses to a discussion forum. In this type of
discussion, the instructor will pose a topic and require
students to post a discussion, respond and perhaps
critique and evaluate their peers submission.
Asynchronous discussion may be used to generate
discussion solely among students. For more information,
we invite you to complete the following tutorial:
Synchronous
– Virtual Classroom
Synchronous discussions are similar to chat rooms. The
instructor will organize a time for a virtual meeting
and will provide topics for discussion. Synchronous
discussions move rapidly and responses must be read
quickly, thus emphasizing the ideas being expressed
rather than who is expressing them. Students can send
private questions to the instructor and receive a
private response. Instructors will often record and
archive chat sessions for students to review if needed.
For more information, we invite you to complete the
following tutorials:
