Blended learning, also referred to as hybrid learning, relies on both the advantages of digital/technology innovation and the methods of face-to- face instruction. At Moser College, we use blended learning by combining asynchronous online classroom sessions with a face-to-face classroom environment. 3 About Your Program at Benedictine University – Moser College About This Document This is a hypermedia document – it has been built to mimic navigation on the web. This document can also be viewed as a presentation or it can be printed like a traditional document. We use this sort of document because it allows for navigation links (hyperlinks) to text, graphics, audio/video, and the web. This type of document also allows you to navigate in a nontraditional, nonlinear way – by following the page links you are not bound to read or flip through the document in any sort of order.

6. homeaboutexpectationsresources course overview learning outcomes IDEA schedule & sessions Love of Christ and Neighbor  Prayer  Stability  Conversatio  Obedience  Discipline  Humility  Stewardship  Hospitality  Community 6 About Netiquette What is Netiquette? "Netiquette" stands for "Internet Etiquette", and refers to the set of practices which help to make the online experiences pleasant for all involved. As you might expect, netiquette, like other forms of etiquette, is about courtesy, manners, codes of behavior, protocols and respect. Netiquette primarily focuses on how we interact with one another online, by being aware of: our use of language, others’ cultural background, conventional norms, and other behaviors. Below you will find guidelines concerning the basics of online interaction. If it isn’t something you would say or do in the face-to-face classroom, it is probably inappropriate in the online class as well. Netiquette Netiquette Basics 1.Follow the Golden Rule (“One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself”) 2.Be ethical, fair, tolerant and mindful of others – avoid stereotyping, judgment and prejudice 3.Know the boundaries of particular cyberspaces – what is acceptable in a text or chatroom with friends may not be appropriate in a classroom or in an online conversation with an instructor 4.Respect the time of others by: 1) using descriptive subject lines, 2) resizing images for the web, 3) providing links instead of copying and pasting content, 5) using white space by inserting blank lines between paragraphs and headers and 6) limiting your use of attachments 5.Copy the minimum number of people – it is tempting to send “email” or “message blasts” because it is easier for the poster, but it is not easier for the reader For more information please review Netiquette by Virginia Shea Inappropriate Online Usage 1.Avoid “flaming” – flaming is sending offensive, insulting or criticizing messages. This happens more often online then in face-to-face interaction, because there is an illusion of anonymity. 2.Flaming is neither productive nor appropriate for the learning environment 3.Always avoid flaming when it comes to content and opinions, but also avoid it when it comes to grammar, punctuation and spelling corrections 4.Avoid using CAPS if possible and never type messages in ALL CAPS – this is considered yelling and is often seen as a form of aggression 5.Use emoticons ( :), :(, :-) ) sparingly and avoid the use of JK, BRB, LOL and other text language Confidentiality and Privacy 1.Email, messaging and posting are forms of written record and are just as permanent as a letter or document 2.Do not publicize your own or others’ personal information (such as email, phone numbers, last names etc.) 3.Respect copyright and cite any and all sources 4.Do not expect that your communications are private, instead assume all communications are public Business Principles and Skills for Academic Success | MGT 110

7. homeaboutexpectationsresources course overview learning outcomes IDEA schedule & sessions Love of Christ and Neighbor  Prayer  Stability  Conversatio  Obedience  Discipline  Humility  Stewardship  Hospitality  Community IDEA Objectives Acquiring skills in working with others as a member of a team. Developing creative capacities (writing, inventing, designing, performing in art, music, drama, etc.) Gaining a broader understanding and appreciation of intellectual/ cultural activity (music, science, literature, etc.) Developing skill in expressing oneself orally or in writing. Learning how to find and use resources for answering questions or solving problems. Developing a clearer understanding of, and commitment to, personal values. Learning to analyze and critically evaluate ideas, arguments, and points of view. Acquiring an interest in learning more by asking questions and seeking answers. 7 Individual Development and Educational Assessment IDEA Description The IDEA student survey focuses on the instructor’s learning objectives for the course and on the progress each student made toward achieving those objectives. By answering thoughtfully and honestly, your ratings and comments will be much more helpful – to the instructor, the department chair, and the dean of the college. As students, you should also know that student ratings and comments have been used to help evaluate courses and to improve the educational experience at Benedictine University. The appropriate standard of conduct with respect to student surveys is thoughtful comments and constructive criticism – respectfully communicated. A Focus on Learning “The IDEA Student Ratings system looks at instruction in terms of its endgame. Rather than emphasizing teaching style or personality, the IDEA system focuses on student learning and the methods used to facilitate it.” – from the IDEA website: www.theideacenter.org/node/5www.theideacenter.org/node/5 IDEA Business Principles and Skills for Academic Success | MGT 110
