| Abstract Text: | Peanut Butter & Jelly, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Macaroni & Cheese...some things are just better together. Expand your online offerings to include synchronous interactions with your students. We'll share some tried and true best practices, and our experiences in developing synchronous content for online foreign language, statistics, and computer courses. The session will be very interactive in nature. Short clips of archived sessions of actual classes using the synchronous environments within WebCT will be show and discussed. Best practices that have proven to increase retention and positive student feedback will be described. Small groups based on content areas will be formed and devise a list of ways a synchronous environment could be used in their area. These will then be shared with the whole group. Participants will learn how synchronous classroom interactions can enhance WebCT's environment. Participants will learn some best practices in incorporating synchronous environments into a WebCT classroom. Participants will formulate ideas for integration into their own content areas. WebBased Materials: Access to actual archived sessions will be provided. The ideas list developed from small group discussions will be available online. Handed out to audience: Best practice list.
