Conference Tracks
Online Learning – Research
Abstract
Scholarship and application reveal how discussion boards are effective in online courses when helping students connect and share ideas, but recognizing individual student effort and achievement in course announcements and course emails and using these examples for metacognitive assignments also validates student understanding of belonging, engagement, and academics. Using excerpts from past and current student work and perspectives embraces diversity as well as validates student work, meeting a basic human need to be recognized for achievement as well as creating relevance within the course. Information and feedback from several online English courses will be shared, along with useful technology tips for creating and sharing student work.
