Moia30hands Jun 8 @ 12:07 PM EDT

As a participant, I have used Whatsapp as a backchannel conversation to discuss things that r going on in class! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:08 PM EDT

@Moia30hands Can you tell us more about Whatsapp? Backchannel can be so helpful online. #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:08 PM EDT

Hello #iolchat =) Jennifer from ATL - adjunct/grad instructor.

aubreybach Jun 8 @ 12:09 PM EDT

@Moia30hands Was that an "officially recommended" tool or something you implemented on your own? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:09 PM EDT

@jshamsy Hi Jennifer! Hope all is well. :) Great to see you. #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:09 PM EDT

Hello #iolchat -- Jennifer from ATL -- adjunct instructor/grad student #instructionaldesign

Moia30hands Jun 8 @ 12:09 PM EDT

Whatsapp is a webchat app, allows u to send txt msgs, voice, images #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:10 PM EDT

I don't use them in the courses I teach..but I use them in the courses I take @Skype @googlehangout @fuze @adobeconnect #iolchat

Moia30hands Jun 8 @ 12:10 PM EDT

It's an app like iMessage, but can be used on any phone. Web version also. V quick & easy 2 use in class. Also use it asynchonously #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:10 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Nice to be here..I kind of got lucky today in being here...so glad I was able to make it. #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:11 PM EDT

CSUDH can be done Asy &Sy they telecast & youtube https://t.co/3PDU4hQlQF @ $3.50/6 univ credits #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@Moia30hands Just took a quick look - seems like a flexible option, cross platform, etc. #iolchat

Moia30hands Jun 8 @ 12:11 PM EDT

@aubreybach It was something we decided to use in my course as a group. Turns out a lot of research to back up its uses #iolchat

jernstberger Jun 8 @ 12:11 PM EDT

I sometimes use @blackboard collaborate for office hours and such. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:12 PM EDT

@jshamsy Do you have a favorite among that list of tools? I find I'm using Skype more these days. Also Blackboard Collaborate. #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:13 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd I guess it depends what you are using it for. Skype is nice for collaboration with teammates along w/Google Docs #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:13 PM EDT

@clowningar Hi Michael! Thanks for jumping in. :) Is this a system you are using? #iolchat

Moia30hands Jun 8 @ 12:13 PM EDT

@aubreybach for example https://t.co/1dNITMVfT1 #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:13 PM EDT

I really like the addition of the Connect sessions w/online learning - brings everyone together #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:13 PM EDT

I'm more interested in Present in creative space w/ mobile edu w/HOA or ? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:13 PM EDT

@jernstberger Same here! Collaborate for weekly office hours, and in one class - intro/mid-term/end-of-term meetings. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:14 PM EDT

@jshamsy I used that very combination on a writing project last week - Skype + Google Docs :) #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:14 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd My #MOOC https://t.co/sKO6lrAtC9 w/ https://t.co/ykWhAivaJF #iolchat

aubreybach Jun 8 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@Moia30hands awesome - thanks for sharing #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:15 PM EDT

RT @jshamsy I really like the addition of the Connect sessions w/online learning - brings everyone together #iolchat

jernstberger Jun 8 @ 12:15 PM EDT

@jshamsy @CenterOnlineEd I'm a big fan of @GoogleDrive. Huge. #moviereference #iolchat

Moia30hands Jun 8 @ 12:16 PM EDT

@jernstberger @jshamsy @CenterOnlineEd @GoogleDrive I agree - Google Drive is great for collaborating synchronously #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@jernstberger @CenterOnlineEd @googledrive It is a great repository for documents - and allows sharing #goodstuff #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@jshamsy I haven't used Connect in a while, but I do like having the video option sometimes - even if it's just for introductions #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:17 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd We use G+ Hangouts & have a contact googlesheet w/teacher/Ss of World https://t.co/I0N4hXaWvF #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:18 PM EDT

@clowningar Thanks for sharing! Wow! That's a lot of coordination - great use of the tools available. #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:18 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Yes..it really bridges that gap of nonverbal communication -- I just think meeting together even briefly is helpful #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@clowningar @CenterOnlineEd I am about to use Hangout for the first time this evening for a team meeting -- Looking forward to it #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@jshamsy Agreed! And my students tend to say the same thing, even though coordinating a time to do this can be challenging. #iolchat

jernstberger Jun 8 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@jshamsy @CenterOnlineEd most definitions of an "online course" include a possible brief meeting. #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd on google sheet far right is 1-24hr timezone correction,, so you just go up/dwn to find class/subject #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:19 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd Yes..and I think you have mentioned before letting Ss know this req. at the beginning of the semester #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@Moia30hands It really is - the features have come a long way and I use it everywhere - work, school, collaborative writing... #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:20 PM EDT

@jshamsy @CenterOnlineEd sweet is it another T or S? you can save to youtube to share, I've done that #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:21 PM EDT

Are your synchronous class events required? optional? A little of both? #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:22 PM EDT

@jshamsy Absolutely-springing a real-time requirement on students is not cool. Experienced this as a student and try not to repeat! #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:22 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEdSs choice, also connect physically if possible u can use https://t.co/VP8IzOnOKi to hook Ss learning say French #iolchat

Moia30hands Jun 8 @ 12:23 PM EDT

Has anyone used @trello? It's a great tool for synchronous collaboration. Great to use as an organiser & u can share w ss & parents #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:23 PM EDT

@jernstberger @CenterOnlineEd Depends on the program - personally I think it is 50-50 as to whether these are required or not. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:24 PM EDT

Interesting idea from @clowningar - any in-person meetings in your online classes? Sometimes my students do this on their own. #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:24 PM EDT

@clowningar @CenterOnlineEd A recording is an important feature! #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:24 PM EDT

@Moia30hands so many options, I have looked at many & gone to Edsurge to keep current #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:25 PM EDT

@Moia30hands @trello I haven't tried it myself, but have several students who recommend it. #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:25 PM EDT

@jshamsy @CenterOnlineEd Hangouts also screenshare, whiteboard, lots of tools on left side of HOA & FREE #iolchat

Moia30hands Jun 8 @ 12:26 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @trello @clowningar I've used it more for organising myself, but huge scope for using it w Ss and colleagues etc #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@Moia30hands @trello @clowningar I need to explore this one more! My Ss use it for group project work. :) #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:27 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd on the sheet I share I organize by city and have column if they are interested in meeting #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:28 PM EDT

@jshamsy @jernstberger And it's hard to "require" without assigning points to being there and/or participating. #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:29 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd @jshamsy @jernstberger I try to get Ss into creative spaces lk makerspace, tvstudios, museums to do #PBL #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:29 PM EDT

This is our first "summer schedule" format chat - focusing on one question. Any topics/Qs you'd like us to cover in coming weeks? #iolchat

jshamsy Jun 8 @ 12:32 PM EDT

@clowningar There still seems to be some resistance there =( The desire to login click and go..some Ss don't want interaction =( #iolchat

clowningar Jun 8 @ 12:32 PM EDT

@CenterOnlineEd mobile edu slanted towards going out in nature, creative spaces and tie curriculum 2 loc https://t.co/w9lTBWPQsK #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:33 PM EDT

@clowningar Great topic! Will add this to the list. :) Thanks! #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 8 @ 12:34 PM EDT

@jshamsy with new tech, you have that lag in habit's that's why I start with k-12 and incentivise #IOLchat
