After considering how you would translate a face-to-face lesson to an online environment, here are some of our recommendations on how to do so:
| Activity/ Component |
Face-to-Face Classroom |
Web-Based Environment (Possible Approaches) |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| HANDOUTS | Printable HTML: Can be opened by any browser, clickable links, may contain images, text, sound, and more | ||
| LECTURE | Web cam: Allows live views and still shows, one way or between participants | ||
| DISCUSSION/ DEBATE |
Threaded discussion forums: Post and reply to messages, ask questions, make introductions, respond to assignments, debate, discuss | ||
| GROUP WORK | Blog: Online journal or diary, public or private, option to receive comments | ||
| EXAMS | Quiz/exam module: Most Web courseware contains testing components that allow instructors to specify and randomize questions, determine deadlines, grade, and give feedback | ||
