The White Board
Jennifer, Great points! Actually, the strong discursive students can also benefit as sometimes they miss the building blocks of their thinking that have been contributed by others in the group. The capture feature provides for this and captures everyone's contributions. Dr. Ruth Reynard

Characteristics of Dynamic Learning Environments
Faith , Planning and review are huge in dynamic learning - review must be continuous, however, not only at the end of a course. It takes me a full week to plan initially and then about 3 times a week during a course. The more you template things the more time efficient you become. Also, the more self-directed and constructive assignments are, the more students run with things. Dr. Ruth Reynard
