Challenge

• How do we make our online classes experiential in
  the same way face-to-face classes can be?
• How do we create lively, interesting discussions
  that relates to current developments in our
  disciplines.

Scenario!

• When the Nobel prize winners are announced, many
  of us enter class and discuss the poet or the
  scientists work with students.
• Using online audio/video clip posts, this sort of
  experience can be simulated! You post a clip,
  then encourage students to listen and respond in
  a discussion or chat room.

Interest Links

  connections that dont add more reading to an
