(2) Help forums should be student-centered, primarily student answered (3) Include at least one grouped assignment requiring more than one modality of interaction (not just text, but voice / video) (4) social media-ish thumbs-up question / forum response system (5) introduce peer-mentor system where someone who is further in the program is assigned to mentor new students in the strand (paid position, trained) (6) make sure LMS notifies instructor of pending emails in a pro-active way (7) ranking system for questions (most frequently asked, best answer - ala StackOverflow) (8) Online "office hour" each week at different times]]> 2017-11-16 15:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/OLCInstitute/92qqvpl1dyt1/wish/207734276 https://padlet.com/OLCInstitute/92qqvpl1dyt1/wish/207776343 Larry can create a social space (Facebook, Google, etc...) and invite the class (and faculty) to join.]]> 2017-11-16 16:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/OLCInstitute/92qqvpl1dyt1/wish/207776343
