A3 I think choice is an integral part.

Mar 15 @ 8:17 PM EDT
A3: Major component to SE is student agency. Adult learners must have choice in forging learning paths. When invested, SE result.

@BC_swhite
Can you give an example of choice? GBL? Poll?
#profchat

Mar 15 @ 8:18 PM EDT
A3: I m so concerned with content sometimes that I forget to give students choices in what and how to explore.
#profchat
dbuckedu
Mar 15 @ 8:19 PM EDT
Best engagement happens when deep learning is encouraged, when Ss feel the content is meaningful and not simply busy work.

#profchat

@dbuckedu
absolutely.. It is a learning community after all
#profchat

A5: Sure thing. The smarter LMS companies are integrating these tools as part of the package. Twitter, Google docs, VoiceThread.
#profchat
dinamoati

Mar 15 @ 8:29 PM EDT
When Ss can create, influence the content of the course, engagement is encouraged. Ss-created OER can be used in future classes.

Q6: What are some obstacles to the use of synchronous tools in online classes? Why?
#profchat
dbuckedu
Mar 15 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Tools that encourage learning & engagement outside the course or the timeframe of semester = these are the best.
