WebCT Brown Bag Luncheon presentation:
We were very fortunate to have Dr. Autumn Grubb, Distinguished
Professor & Coordinator of Professional Development at
Georgia College and State University host the presentation
on November 17, 1999.
The presentation that she gave is called "Building
Cyber-Learning Communities in WebCT". The presentation
is designed to help participants realize why it is important
to create and nurture "community" in the on-line learning
environment. The presentation also helps participants conceptualize/concretize
how they can use WebCT to:
- motivate students to use course tools to interact with
one another and collaborate to complete course requirements,
- encourage students to respond to fellow students' work
and add to content discussions,
- encourage student-to-student mentoring/training, and
- use course tools to manage student requests for help.
The Powerpoint slides used in the presentation are available
online.
