Death by Powerpoint

Couldn't agree more a ppt that is not put together right can take the class in an entire different direction. I have been in classes that the teacher just really reads from the ppt that was poorly put together and the entire class is upset. It is great to have a ppt for the visual learners in your class and to make sure the students get your information but it should be put together correctly.

Involving students

As an online professor how do you go about involving your students in giving feedback to your rubrics? I know sometimes I have trouble getting feedback just on the live chats.

Getting Students feedback with rubrics

I was just wondering how does everyone get feedback from their students that their rubric was good, bad, etc?

Update rubrics

How often do most of you update your rubrics? My classes run every 5 weeks so I just wanted to get an idea how often I should do it?

Communication and the Discussion board area

How would you encourage your students to communicate more with their fellow students on the topics for the week. For example, many times I get responses from other students to each other "good job" and that's it. Any ideas on how to get the students to communicate more in a discussion board forum instead of just a few words?

Trying to communicate in just 5 weeks

I have found that with my classes only being 5 weeks its very hard if I don't get them communicating in the first 2 weeks I lose them. I really try to use our DB area to pull them out during week 1 and 2 to get them communicating. I also have found that in our live chat sessions it is very hard to get them to communicate and participate. I have added polls, put questions during the live chat and they still don't really participate. Any suggestions on how to get them to communicate more during the live chat?
