Backward design + a regular schedule of interactions■ 3 mini-lessons per week, often building on and expanding a prior
topic.■ Auto-graded or simple manually graded assignments to increase the
frequency of interaction and hopefully not increase grading burden.
■ Cumulative assignments to review and build upon previous important material.
■ Stepped assignments to give feedback before final versions are submitted.

Interactive tools to complement learning objectives
■ Journal, Bb Assignment – individual
■ Blog, VoiceThread – individual or class
Is the learning activity best suited for student-instructor or student-student interaction?

Interactive tools to complement learning objectives (cont’d)
■ Interactive textbook or other resources for self-guided study - individual
■ Variety of resources for delivery of information: – powerpoints– screen capture lectures (Kaltura, Tegrity, Panopto)– videos, articles, with outline provided for student independent
note-taking■ Assign students to upload self-recorded videos for the items that would
be a “comment” or discussion in class. VoiceThread and Kaltura are great for this.

Interactive tools to complement learning objectives (cont’d)■ Overloaded with a large class? “Self and Peer Assignments” in
Blackboard!
■ Tip: select a handful of tools and stick to using them regularly so that students aren’t always having to learn a new tool on top of coursework.

Rubrics!They communicate a lot! Rubrics are naturally a great way to interact with students on course content, and to be clear about expectations and evaluation.
