My last session of the day was “Redefining online discussions: A taxonomy to encourage in-depth interaction.” I enjoyed this one, even though I don’t think it will work in our sessions at Bryant and Stratton. Their model was for a 10-week class, and they even said it was not enough time to really use the techniques---it was better suited for a 15-week semester.
They used a model similar to Bloom’s taxonomy, but adapted for the online learner. The students are in groups and work together to learn the concepts being taught. The instructor acts as coach when they need guidance, but most of the work is done by the students, and in assuming responsibility for their own learning it becomes more meaningful for them.
