Re: [Air-L] Hybrid discussion-based courses: how to encourage discussion between in-person & digital participants?

This is not an easy task, but it can be done, mostly i do it by cutting back on in class discussion and telling the f2f students that they must make up that time on the discusson boards and to continue our discussion there. That has to be built into the course and grading system, so that students will be encouraged to do it. So instead of a 2:30 minute class, i have a 2 hour class with 30 minutes required online. And I have that 30 minutes defined as two or more significant contribution and a few minor contributions, I do also tend to post some questions each week, but I also don't do that every week. hope that helps.
