9/23/08 Effective Practices in Online Teaching
12 O'clock Scholars Brown Bag Discussion
Facilitated by Jennifer Caseldine-Bracht, Philosophy
Jennifer shared her experience with using the Quality Matters™ rubric to identify ways in which she could strengthen her online teaching and improve student learning outcomes. Her outline, presentation notes, and effective practices can be found in this PowerPoint presentation. In addition, CELT offers for download the Quality Matters™ rubric. She also made us aware of a web site that can be used to check for the usability of a web site by disabled students. An interesting extension of our discussion comes in the form of this link to a podcast discussion of teaching critical thinking online from Jossey-Bass. It has some insights from 3 online teachers that you main find interesting. The discussion does range beyond critical thinking into general online teaching practices of interest. Use the "Play in Popup" link that appears below the Brookfield bio. The "meat" of the discussion starts at about 1 minute 30 secs into the podcast.
