Use Collaborate If professors are not lecturing via recorded
sessions online: Use a virtual meeting room for: Office hours,
brainstorming, course meeting rooms. 2/3rds of that is not recorded
lectures. Slide 20 Web-enhanced Courses Foster Student Interaction
Web-enhanced courses are face-to-face courses that use any form of
electronic media to post information, deliver content, provide
learning resources, and foster student interaction outside the
classroom. They are not distance education courses, because
instruction takes place in the classroom. Technology is used to
support instruction instead of being the main source of course
delivery (About web-enhanced courses, 2013)About web-enhanced
courses, 2013 Slide 21 Web-Conferencing Enhances Face-to-Face
Courses (Hess, 2013, p. 51)Hess, 2013, p. 51 One way to respond to
educational change is thru course design & redesign Maximizes
students learning Helps ensure courses efficiently/effectively
prepare students During the last ten years, a third course design
option has emerged in higher education, including legal educationa
blended course that combines the face-to-face and online formats.
