course content<br />

• Communication Tools – Areas for sending and receiving e-<br />

mail, participating in group or class discussions about particular<br />

issues, keeping electronic journals, completing “dry or simulated<br />

lab” exercises <strong>to</strong> prepare for “wet or real lab” experiences, or<br />

engaging in chat sessions. Many students are able and willing<br />

<strong>to</strong> participate more fully online than in face-<strong>to</strong>-face classes,<br />

especially when discussion assignments require each student <strong>to</strong><br />

post a comment or the results of a brief assignment and <strong>to</strong> reply<br />

<strong>to</strong> a comment or question from other students.<br />

• Student Tools – Areas for using the Assignment Tool <strong>to</strong> send<br />

and receive completed papers, homepages, or personal profiles<br />

of students, and access <strong>to</strong> grades.<br />

• Assessments – Areas for quizzes, exams, and surveys; online<br />

grade books; and assessment statistics.<br />

Clarity of Performance Expectations<br />

It also is critical <strong>to</strong> make assignments and performance<br />

expectations clear and specific, so that students know exactly what<br />

you expect.<br />

Examples<br />

• “Send your e-mail <strong>to</strong> ‘x’ by noon Thursday, ‘date and year,’<br />

describing your <strong>to</strong>pic and plan of procedure, in 2-3 paragraphs<br />

of 2-5 sentences each.”<br />

• “Submit your midterm by noon Thursday, ‘x’ date and year,<br />

according <strong>to</strong> the instructions and requirements listed at ‘x’<br />

location on the course website.”<br />
