Games for Drill and Practice Allow for student self-assessment. Provide interactive means for student to study course material. Can be relatively easy for faculty members to create using free software programs.

Game Creation Software Half-baked Software http://www.halfbakedsoftware.com/ Multiple-choice, short-answer, jumbled-sentence, crossword, matching/ordering and gap-fill exercises examples Quia http://www.quia.com/servlets/quia.web.QuiaWebManager 16 different types of online activities, including flashcards, matching, concentration (memory), word search, battleship, challenge board, columns, cloze exercises, hangman, jumbled words, ordered list, patterns, picture perfect, pop-ups, rags to riches (a quiz- show style trivia game), and scavenger hunt
21
Simulations and Animations Models a concept or idea Useful when concepts are difficult Strive to excite students about learning

One-Best-Answer Questions Hamlet’s lines following the death of Ophelia suggest that: 1. Hamlet really loved Ophelia, and is so distraught to learn of her death that he proposes to eat a crocodile. 2. Hamlet thinks that Laertes’s grief is mere posturing, and mocks it by exaggeration. 3. Hamlet cares little for Ophelia, but is eager to enter into a rhetorical chest-thumping competition with her brother. Elizabeth Cullingford, English, University of Texas- Austin

Discussion Forums
30
OAK / Blackboard
31
Why use discussion forums? To share common concerns & questions, maybe anonymously To motivate students to think about material before class To move discussion outside of class, leaving more class time for other tasks To make it easier for some students to express themselves—in writing To build community, relationships, study groups To give students a space to apply course material to their “real lives” To allow students to share and comment on non-textual media
32
Blogs EXAMPLES
33
Microblogging (Twitter)
34
Twitter Following, tweeting, and searching Monica Rankin’s Twitter Experiment
35
Collaborative Tools Google Docs Zoho
36
Wikis An open, collaborative community website where anyone can contribute. Group space in which many individuals can be part of the construction of knowledge and/or presentation of information. The most popular wiki is Wikipedia.Wikipedia Effective as a way to get many students to contribute information about a particular subject. Wikis in Plain English http://rhettmcdaniel.wetpaint.com
