...New technologies, particularly the Internet, allow for asynchronous and synchronous communication among small group members at relatively low cost. These technologies are altering small group membership, functions, and processes. Research on Technology and Small Group Communication Most research on the use of technology in small group work compares groups that use communication technologies (such as discussion boards and videoconferencing) to those that meet face-to-face. With the rapid changes in communication technology, many problems associated with groups that do not meet face-to-face have been reduced or eliminated. Still, groups that never meet face-to-face can encounter difficult challenges. And yet, not meeting face-to-face also has its advantages. New communication technologies can create new environments that produce more open, fluid, and dynamic small group environments. For example, recent research suggests that online discussions facilitate collaborative learning in the university classroom. One study found that students who are actively engaged in online discussion earned higher grades in large lecture class and felt that they learned more than students who did not participate. New communication technologies also have the potential to provide an avenue of participation for historically disadvantaged and disenfranchised group members. Yet, new communication technologies can be costly, both in terms of time and money. Users who are unfamiliar with the technology...

... SHORT TALKS:- A Short Talk is a short presentation given at a conference or similar forum. Unlike other presentations, short talks last only a few minutes and several will usually be delivered in a single period by different speakers. • Example:- o Personalized short talk is talk in which participants usually discuss one topic. o A short talk in which response is collected to some questionnaire and then findings are reported. o A short talk given to report some statistics on some topic collected from participants. PRESENTATIONS:- Presentation is the practice of showing and explaining the content of a topic to an audience or learner. Presentations come in nearly as many forms as there are life situations. In the business world, there are sales presentations, informational and motivational presentations, first encounters, interviews, briefings, status reports, image-building, and of course, the inevitable training sessions. • Example:- o A presentation given by a sales person about his/her product about to launch. o A presentation given in some meeting to explain the matter under discussion. o A presentation given by students in colleges/universities which is usually a part of their projects. BRIEFING:- A conference before a major event to announce/agree upon the major information and actions necessary to complete the mission. • Example:- o Briefing given by coach or captain of a team before the starting of some game. o Briefing given by commander or head...

...Guide to an Outstanding Discussion Board Thread 1. Read your assignment carefully for content related requirements. Let’s look at the example below. Note that it does not ask for a vague opinion, but requires that your answer be based upon: * Five developmental theories found in your reading assignment. * Information found in reading and presentations related to human development. * Your Christian/Other worldview – this implies that you understand your worldview and clearly define how it relates to the theories discussed. 2. Don’t forget to note your due dates. Example: Discussion Board Forum 1 Topic: We like to have things in systems and theories. It gives us a framework to work with as we try to understand the world around us in many areas of life. You will find five major developmental theories presented in your reading assignment. After studying these theories, you will discover that they each have a distinct perspective on human development and how experiences and behaviors change over time. Using your assigned reading and presentations, discuss areas of theory or theories that you can use from your Christian worldview or worldview that you hold. Your thread is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday and your two replies are due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday. 3. Review the Grading Rubric provided for the Discussion Board Forums. When grading your submission, I will use this rubric to determine your grade. You will want to refer to this...

...help you consider all sides of an argument to better support your own position on a topic), let’s get started on developing your thesis (claim) and reasons (support) for Essay #1, on the larger issue of “College Education.” First, carefully read and review the essays in “Casebook 1” in your Current Issues and Enduring Questions text (pages 547-574). Here you’ll be reading a variety of arguments on different points of debate within the larger issue of College Education. Next, narrow down this larger topic into a more focused issue of particular interest to you. For example, you might decide you’d like to write your first argumentative essay on one of the following topics of debate: -Does today’s Bachelors Degree have the same value it did in the past? or -Should students should be able to specialize in their degree early on, or should they be required to take a number of “core classes” in the liberal arts for a “well-rounded” education in college? or -What is the best way for a college to prepare its graduates for the “real world” and the workplace? After you’ve decided on your narrower topic of focus, submit your initial post to the “College Education: What’s It Worth?” Discussion Board and respond to at least two classmates’ initial posts as well. (See full instructions in this week’s Discussion Board Forum, and remember to refer to your materials and “Discussion Board Rubric” under “Course Information” for more help in writing successful posts.)
