alt="Faculty met recently for an informal eFaculty Live! Online Course Showcase and Roundtable Discussion session. Fifteen faculty met in the Faculty Lounge on the TAMU-C campus and eleven attended the session at the Mesquite Metroplex campus. The session was designed to provide faculty opportunity to share ideas regarding online course instruction. At the close of the session, the faculty members shared some points they felt were beneficial for others teaching online. Allow me to share a few of those with you here: Assign practice sessions during the first week of the course to ensure that students are familiar with the eCollege tools and related technology needed to navigate the course. Define appropriate behaviors at the outset of the course. Do not assume students know such things as netiquette and the meaning of plagiarism. Consider having the students confirm that they have read and understood all of the pertinent information. Develop an online course in gradual increments rather than utilizing all of the new technology in your first course. This way you do not overwhelm yourself or the students. Use a rubric for online grading, especially grading of the discussion forums. It is important to be student-centered in the focus of your course development. Create a syllabus that is more precise or detailed so students know exactly what to expect. We continue to learn from each other. If you have best practices which have been successful in your online course or web enhanced course, and would be willing to share them with your colleagues, share them with one of the Instructional Design team members. We will include your suggestion in upcoming issues of this newsletter so that all of us may benefit.                                          Julie A. McElhany, Ed.D.                                          Coordinator for Instructional Design "></td>

Not only does it search a variety of sources to catch suspicious passages, it can also be leveraged to help students become better writ­ers. It is easy to set up an account and powerful enough to customize to your needs. During our orientation, we will discover how to set up your account, the class, and assignments.</span></font></p>
