Dangerous Discussions-Class Size

1. Overconscientious Teachers

2005-06-02T10:11:00.000-07:00

PLS HELP! How can we help teachers who are being “overconscientious” when teaching online or hybrid/blended courses? They set requirements that demand too much of themselves and/or their students. They may misuse online tools by requiring too frequent interaction; e.g., requiring every student to respond to two questions per week on a Web-based threaded discussion board; expecting that the teacher will read and grade all student contributions and respond to most of them within the same day they were posted.
