Many instructors are using online writing – email, asynchronous threaded discussion groups, and synchronous chat – in their teaching. And both students and teachers are using online communications to maintain personal and business relationships. Here we present a set of guidelines faculty who are just beginning to use these technologies in teaching. Build the online writing component into the grading structure . It’s not just that students will spend time on something if they know that a grade depends on it. It’s also that the assignment of a grade indicates to them that it’s important. Acknowledge the time that will be spent on it . Adding a significant online writing component is adding to the course load – on your students and on you. If you value it, and if you want your students to value it, then decide what other elements of the course will be dropped to make room for it. Establish a clear and compelling relationship between the online writing and other elements of the course . Think of the online writing environment as another environment in which students encounter each other and you. Make clear to your students how you expect the work in this online environment to build upon and contribute to the other work in the course. for more details: Web Video CostThanks!
