You are a professor assigned to teach an online class. You are using a Learning Management System that is very good for some tasks such as:
posting lectures, handouts, and readings
managing students grades
receiving assignments completed by students
quizzing students online
enabling student discussions
You believe in active learning and want to include student presentations and group work which enables students to interact in venues other than the discussion board. You know that working in groups and putting together presentations simulates the type of tasks students will asked to complete in the work place which include:
working on and contributing to a team effort
taking information and transforming it into a comprehensible format for a target audience
You have heard about the large number of Web 2.0 tools available and wonder which ones might be used to help accomplish your learning goals?
