This week, I created discussion posts for the online portion of my blended course. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. I had to ensure that the discussion questions were broad enough to facilitate discussion on various topics within the parameters of the modules, but narrow enough to prevent too much vagueness. I also wanted to ensure that students are grasping the key concepts in the modules and can use that information to apply their knowledge to real-life situations.
Another thing I worked on was aligning dates of exams with the discussions. Right now, the dates are imaginary, but I wanted to make sure I could figure out how to change dates around easily. I want to add links to the discussions in the weekly modules (right now the discussions have their own folder). If I can’t do that, I’ll move all the discussions into the modules for easy access. Working on my project this week was fun!
