What is the purpose of a forum?
Think of the forum as a classroom experience where you
“meet” with your instructor and peers to discuss the weekly topic in terms of
the readings, assignments and resources that have been assigned. The desired outcome is that you are able to
(1) collaborate with peers and the instructor, (2) demonstrate your
understanding of the material, and (3) participate as a member of an online
community.
What are the responsibilities of the instructor?
The instructor’s goal is to create an engaging and safe
environment for students to learn. In
addition, instructors should pose questions promoting deeper thought as well as
encourage students to interact with their peers in the classroom. There should be an active instructor presence
throughout the week.
What are the responsibilities of the student?
Each week, you are required to make a 250 word initial
posting and respond to a minimum of 2 students.
Responses should be a minimum of 100 words and include direct
questions. Please review the forum
grading rubrics in order to understand how your responses in the forum will be
graded.
If you met the
above-mentioned requirements, you will be graded at the proficient level. However, if your desire is to be graded at
the exemplary level, please provide more than what is required. To receive 100% as a grade (the exemplary
level) for the weekly forums, you should ensure that your responses meet the
following criterion:
