"The creation of a design concept expresses itself through a process of framing the right questions for any

project. This lyrical approach, one that is iterative and multi-disciplinary,

allows the framing and reframing of the problem until the

design solutions emerge.”Bing Thom

I want my class to “Flow” My class needs to be obvious, and clear I want my class to move seamlessly, to

have organization that takes the students

My class is choppy I would like some symmetry to each

portion of my class I want to be the motion in my online

class

Instructor’s personality impacts student learning

More is learned in a class than “the content”

Online instruction makes a “personality” difficult to develop or create

What does face-to-face classroom “ambiance” look like?

How is it created? art/furnishings/plants sounds/music the tone/humor/friendly/serious the instructor’s personality

Does it impact student learning?

Do we “get” more from those we “feel” close to?

How does this apply to the F2F classroom?

The online class?

What is the ambiance of an online class?

What role does the instructor play?

How do instructors create a “learning” environment online?

An online class is

Started by a Harvard student who wanted to make it easier to network with his classmates

NETWORK WITH CLASSMATES

The site is just another way for the entire community to engage each other.

A larger footprint is like a well-used, comfortable home

It says I have lived here and am familiar with my surroundings

A smaller footprint is like one of those homes that is so clean you are afraid to sit on the couch

Or, it looks as if you are inexperienced and new to this digital world

So, now what?

Sometimes, this profile is all students get

other than content

Lets look at some examples

Is there more that can be shared?

To what end?

What do students want to know about you?

Where will they look? Google? Facebook? Personal Website?

TOOLS/VENUES

The website and the fact that we have open lab immediately after our hybrid lecture has allowed us (the collective 'us' from all sections) to network and dare I say "bond" with each other.  It is not an overstatement to say that there literally exists a "Dr. Frolich's BIO-201 community" on campus.  For that reason, I blame you -- for making we, the collective students actually care about each other.
