Subject: Thursday 3:30 - student web publishing and
online courses
hi folks, this is just a reminder about getting
together on Thursday to talk about "student web publishing" in online courses.
we'll look at three possibilities:
internet-based discussion board
(ezboard.com)
Blog-based publishing system (blogger.com)
student websites
(using Composer and student webspace)
there are strengths and drawbacks
to each approach, and they are suited to different kinds of activities and
teacher preferences. I'll try to do a comparative features list to distribute as
a handout at the meeting. personally, I rely VERY HEAVILY on student web
publishing in my classes; it is my most important tool for community-building in
online courses.
as always, there will be some general discussion too -
please bring ideas, problems, epiphanies!
if you want to look at some
materials in advance, you can see our own OU...Online Blog at work here:
http://faculty-staff.ou.edu/G/Laura.K.Gibbs-1/ouonline/index.html
you
can take a look at the webpages my students published this week (they did
practice webpages for the preceding two weeks): http://www.mythfolklore.net/3043mythfolklore/courseinfo/storybooklinks.htm
and
if anyone would like a default username/password in order to access my class
EZBoard, please let me know and I'll be glad to share that with
you.
thanks everybody!
Laura
