//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">b. Two common options for the design of online syllabi. //

 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Some instructors create syllabi that are no different from the ones they use in traditional courses. This is more likely when the course is synchronous or hybrid and the instructor meets with students on a regular basis via online conferencing (thereby simulating the traditional classroom environment). ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Other instructors organize their syllabi in modules or according to the major assignments. This is more likely when the course is asynchronous and the instructor divides the sections of the course content according to topics or “chunks.” These “chunks” need not correlate to the standard division of course material into “weeks,” but are rather tied to an assessment of students’ progress based on the assignments they submit. This type of syllabus will have a list of major assignments and their descriptions, due dates, and the percentage of each assignment, instead of the usual week-by-week topics and readings. ====

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">a. General Rules:

 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Make sure that you create a community of learners through opening activities that create an environment conducive to learning ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Provide ground rules for civil engagement ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Provide clear directions for student activities ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Make a comprehensive, well organized, accessible syllabus ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Ask yourself what you would like students to take away from your course and retain one year later ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Provide various types of activities to support different students’ learning styles and abilities ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Get (and give) feedback early and often ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Do clear, exciting, focused activities at the beginning and end of every course and every class session ====

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Class Pager - [] Send a text message to <span class="skype_pnh_print_container_1379814787" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">(415) 692-6284

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">How does ClassPager work?
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">It's just 3 easy steps!


 * 1) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">First, as a teacher, you add your class name to the system, and they generate a free ClassPager code for you.
 * 2) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Share the unique code with students. Anyone who texts ClassPager with this unique code will be "enrolled" in the class.
 * 3) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Now any messages that you send from ClassPager will go to everyone who is enrolled! If they reply, you can start an individual conversation with them. As a teacher, you only see their name and never their phone number.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Google Voice - Your audio inbox
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">[|http://voice.google.com] <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Obtain a phone number that you can give your students instead of your personal phone number. Then you can forward their calls to any other phone number you’d like to use. Google Voice provides interface where you can play their phone messages, see their messages transcribed and even download the message as an audio file. Ideas:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Learning in Real Life – Students call in and re-tell how they used in their everyday life the language or concept they learned about in class
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Pronunciation or reading practice – Students call in and read a paragraph or a word list
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Note that speech to text is not very accurate and even native speakers have things transcribed incorrectly.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Activity: Call the presenter <span class="skype_pnh_text_span" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">910-475-8604 <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">and leave a message by answering this question – What features of your cell phone have you used, other than making a phone call?
