BEST PRACTICES. today, Thursday April 8, 3:30 in Ellison: we'll be meeting to talk about best practices for online courses, and I'd like to propose that we start by looking at a set of assessment criteria developed by a group up in Canada - I think that should lead to some good discussion about what kind of best practices people want to promote in their own courses. I'll bring copies of this as a handout.

DREAMWEAVER. next week, Thursday April 15, 3:30: we will meet over in BIZZELL COMPUTER LAB, Room 118A in the Library School (enter through the old Library building), and do a Dreamweaver workshop focused on creating online forms, and also a refresher on templates and any other features of Dreamweaver that people would like assistance with. (if you have specific Dreamweaver topics you would like to see covered, let me know in advance and I'll get them on the handout, even if we don't have time to cover all of them in our session.

WRITING ONLINE. week after next, Thursday April 22, 3:30 in Ellison: we'll cover some issues about writing assignments that have come up in previous sessions but focus on specific solutions: how to do peer review, how to promote writing process and revision activities, student web publishing, formal and informal writing, software recommendations. I'm planning to build a series of writing skills activities/quizzes for my courses next year, and would very much like to collaborate with anyone else who is interested - we can use this as a chance to plan a strategy for developing and sharing those materials!
