Four Plus Approach

Keynoters - provide an overview of key points that are important to online learning

Investigators - create open ended questions to ask for more information, clarify or explain the ideas (3 or less)

Illustrators - provide specific examples or applications of the ideas presented in readings

Linkers - show how does the material we are reading links to other areas requiring our attention in distance education

Reflections on “flip lesson”

Student engagement - differentiation

Is humor a lure?

Maybe one lure could be humor in our courses. This is a natural for many in face to face courses but can be a bit trickier at a distance.

Jim would be willing to share several examples

Afterhours Chat (3:30 PM)

For casual discussion and networking If Distance Education is the answer ... then what is

the question? How do we take the distance .. out of Distance Ed? How do we keep distance education courses

dynamic and changing? What are some creative and interesting ways to

improve student engagement and completion rates?

How do we facilitate continual growth of distance education teachers?
