Quality and Engagement in Online Courses

In today's discussion, I want to focus on quality and engagement in online courses. I want to do into some detail on one particular challenge for faculty - and that is to engage students through active learning - and thereby improve student learning (and student success).

This is a so-called presentation blog, and each blog posting deals with a separate topic that I would like to cover. Note that anyone can post a comment on any of the individual blog postings.



My goal is to have the workshop participants get a good sense of how to use a few Internet tools to improve student learning by making it more active - in courses ranging from face-to-face to blended to fully online.
