OTL101- Post 1 Introduction
Hi everyone,
My name is Manu Sharma. Here is a little more information about me:
*My favourite vacation spot is anywhere near the ocean, currently going to Victoria sounds good to me!
*I have not read a novel for fun for a very long time as I have been deeply entrenched in writing my own coedited volume on international experiences abroad!
*Teaching online requires a great deal of front-loading work and organization, but once it is set one is ready to go. The only catch is to ensure that links properly work and in my course there were many that were broken.
*I would like to know how to have more community building activities in an asynchronous course in which students are not very strong writers. Any ideas are welcome. Currently, I know of forums, presentations and video uploads but nothing that takes the place of in class activities in real time or ice breakers/debates/facilitating live discussion.
Thanks for taking the time to read!
Best wishes for the summer,
Manu
