This email is a follow-up to an inquiry regarding an "Effective Tool for Students to Ask Questions" (shared by Dr. Kim Adcock) and gathering student feedback during the academic term. Dr. Natalie Gaughf mentioned in a reply the deployment of a feedback tool we used while in the SOPH. Please find additional details below.
As we are wrapping up the Spring semester and already planning for the next academic year, I was wondering if anyone has found a useful tool that allows students to ask questions about the course (e.g. content, assignments, etc). I have set up discussion boards in the past; however, students do not seem to use those and instead utilize one-to-one email (between student and instructor).
I have asked my students over the last few years why they are so hesitant about posting in discussion boards and they all tell me the same thing. Most students believe that all the questions they ask will be seen by other students in the course as "stupid". They are so afraid of being wrong, or not knowing an answer that they will not reach out in a public forum such as discussion board. 90% of the time, if one student is asking, most of the class is wondering about the question too. But they will not put themselves out

I am looking for some great ideas on how to revamp a discussion board that I used this past year. I am hoping the new version will be both student AND faculty-friendly! Basically, I assigned students to post a reflection to different chapters in the book and then other students to post a comment on that reflection. The goal was to keep students engaged in the reading assignments over the course of the semester. It worked well enough, but it was not very "pretty" to read. Has anyone tried anything similar or tried a different "version" of a discussion board?
Microsoft Teams may be an option for you. Files can be posted and there can be a running chat.

Having the students record their reflections in a video rather than typing it is also a great way to get students engaged!

I was just reading an article that indicated educators should equip students with essential self-regulated skills especially during this time of COVID when more asynchronous on-line learning is being utilized. Just curious if anyone has any tips to share on how you have built this into your courses or school.
Sure! I hope this link works! https://magnapublications.emlnk1.com/lt.php?s=2d7d811791a5ebf6f8e4b487e09bbc9e&i=1881A2071A15A59332
It is in the September 2 issue of Faculty Focus, "Tips for Fostering Students' Self-Regulated Learning in Asynchronous Online Learning Environments" by Rachel J. Ebner, PhD.
Two other articles that might be of help. This is an area of interest for me. I am very happy to collaborate on thinking about how to best do this in a systematic approach.

Just curious if anyone has an activity that you have implemented at the beginning of your class that perhaps review content, sets the foundation for that session's topic, encourages student participation, etc. I have tried entrance tickets previously in F2F classes, but wondered how to incorporate similar strategies virtually. Any ideas?
Has anyone every used student note takers as a form of student engagement in your class? For instance, different students would be assigned to take class notes for that day and post to the class. How did it go? What was the feedback from students?
The medical students do this for all the podcasted lectures.
Peyton Thigpen is the ASB President and he is a medical student. You might check with him.
Thanks, Rob

I'm not aware of students doing this at SHRP. When I was at Mizzou, the medical students did it and had a central location with notes in a large white notebook to share that they called "coffee pot." I'm not a fan of the idea because I think they miss out on the actual personal learning of the material and only get what someone else thought might be important.
It would make sense that students, with or without the faculty knowledge or blessing, would develop a construct like note-taking/study guide development for class-wide dissemination. However, I would be quite curious to see how the integration of Lecture Recordings impacts this construct. Does the note taking have the same degree of desirability amongst the students?
I do not think it would be a good idea for students to be notetakes. 1. All students/people have different attention spans and learning styles. I would not be a good notetaker because I'm an auditory learner. If I had to take notes while listening, I would miss quite a bit of information I'm sure. 2. There would be to much pressure on one student. Conscientious students would be stressed trying to ensure they took perfect notes. 3. It could possibly be used by a student as a reason for not being successful. For those reasons, I think it's a
Thanks for being part of our Education Listserv community. This community was created to facilitate communication and collaboration of teaching experiences by faculty on the UMMC campus. The goal is to offer an avenue to exchange pedagogical ideas, discover useful links and resources, get answers to questions, request leads, information, and ideas, give back by responding to others' questions and requests as well as gain a feeling of being connected, included, and involved in a community of faculty striving to reach the same goals. We hope you engage in this forum and contribute to the discussion!
