Here is an interesting example of a digital syllabus using Prezi.  It’s extremely well done and worth a look.

From Fran:

I am looking forward to learning ways to guide on-line students to create stronger short projects which incorporate the plethora of digitized research library materials (yes, they include you tube performances,etc.) in my discipline.

From Tim Connor:

I have another topic I’d like to discuss related to learning in authentic ways. How can various technological media promote student understanding that the learning they have from period to period is actually, in real life, all integrated information? Anyone interested in thinking of ways to make that learning happen via technology might want to come to this session.

I would love to discuss building/creating a sense of community in an online class. Can it be done? How? What are the essential ingredients?

I believe community is essential to learning and especially learning to write, but what are the ways/means of creating community when your students may never meet face to face?

I use social media and activities gleaned/adapted from my National Writing Project experience, but would love to share and discuss ideas and experiences (the good, the bad, and the ugly).

I have successfully created communities in my online classes and experienced them as an online student, but this fall I will teach a first year seminar which means I will be dealing with students very new to online classes — I’m more than a little nervous about the experience.
