John, Good point about discussion boards being familiar to students because of their similiarity to email. Now, if we could only get the business world up to par on their emailing skills :) Thanks for your insightful responses... Jane
John, I couldn't agree with you more. :) Jane
Jason, I like your use of real-world situations as an assessment tool. :) Jane
Jason, You bring up a good point that the design specification document is a somewhat like a syllabus for the vendor. It guides the development team through the development process. I always like to know where I am going to end up when taking on a project, don't you? Thanks, Jane
Jason, Oh, I remember the days when a technical education was seen as substandard. Today, because the job market is changing, technical education has gained a higher level of respect. Do you think there is a difference in the type of student who chooses to earn a degree online and one who prefers traditional learning? I am interested in your thoughts :) Jane
John Your answer is encouraging to me in that it reflects that online learning is gaining acceptance in the business world. Not too long ago, a degree earned online was not perceived to be as value as one earned in a traditional manner. Thanks for your thoughts :) Jane
Jason, I like your suggestion that students attend synchronous classes with guest lecturers. The transcripts would be useful to those who were not able to be there live. Good idea! Thanks for sharing, Jane
Hi John, I agree that discussion boards are better for slower typists than chat rooms. Aside from typing skills, what other characteristics do your students have that make them better suited for one method or the other? Thanks, Jane
John, You make a good point about variety being an important learning tool for your students. What are the various methods you would use to assess your students' knowledge about medical coding if the course were to be taught online. I am interested in your ideas :) Jane
Very thorough answer!! Thanks for your input :) Jane
