  9. Your questions/concerns

  10. From Backchannel & Polls 1. How to encourage/motivate/force faculty involvement in designing & teaching blended.

  11. From Backchannel & Polls 2. I would like to hear ideas about how to re-create the sense of interaction and community of a F2F class. I have done this to some extent with forums, but am interested in other ways to accomplish this. http://informl.com/?p=702

  12. From Backchannel & Polls 3. I would like to have a discussion of student engagement in blended courses. Yesterday the question of dealing with students that are habitually expecting 'content'-only education came up and we never got around to exploring the strategies needed to engage students at all levels of motivation.

  13. From Backchannel & Polls 4. Can some of the best practices for blended course design be applied to traditional classes in order to make more effective use of face to face time? If that is the case, then a key issue would be getting faculty to adapt some of these techniques into their class.

  14. Discussion

  15. Hot Topics • Faculty competencies set for blended course • Communication policies, faculty engagement with students • Monitoring faculty time - workload management • Monitoring student attendance, contributions, and interaction—feedback • Time on task, contact with students • Defining the blend • Student skills and abilities • Technology use, how much is enough • Class size • Academic Integrity

  16. Your priorities
