3. Electronic Discussion Group
To provide an electronic forum for the exchange of student ideas about the readings.
This is far and away the most useful web innovation for teaching thus far.
Instead of requiring students to produce thought pieces or journal entries
that only the teacher of the class reads, all of the members of the seminar
have access to the responses through the web page. The software we used for this is
educational shareware, NetForum, that is extremely simple to implement.
Examples:
To set up NetForum, there is
a web based form to fill out that will allow you to create a new discussion group for
each class. Rebecca can set this up for you and incorporate a link to it from your home page.
