Goal
The goal is to create a community of learners by encouraging connections between instructor and students, students and students and students and content.
Methods of connecting

Instructor to Student

  • Discussions
  • Announcements
  • Email
  • Phone
  • Feedback to assignments

 

 

Student to Student

 

  • Discussions
  • Email
  • Small group activities
  • Peer review and feedback

 

Student to Content

 

  • Readings
  • Reflections
  • Discussions
  • Assignments

 
Materials to be prepared
Discussion questions, elimination of some of the “prescribed content,” develop outline for units (loosely constructed framework), rubrics, new activities, updated syllabus.
Resources already located
Lehmann book, Paloff and Pratt books, Collison book, Conrad and Donaldson book.
Resources yet to be located
At this point, I think I have the knowledge and materials to get started. 
Timeline
General Outline for Course – Beginning of June
New Activities – middle of July
Rubrics – end of July
Elimination of non-essential content – early August (Non essential content/activities would consist of links that are redundant, activities that go over the same content or skills more than once, questions that are redundant between discussion prompts, assignments, and assessments, and assignments that don’t correlate with the unit objectives.)
Discussion Questions – early August
Syllabus – mid August
