Electronic dialog

The electronic dialog allows the student to participate in a group-based knowledge-building process. This is not simply a chat session. The student is accountable for every comment posted. These will be evaluated for their contribution to the knowledge-building process.

The electronic discussion can be divided into 2 categories:

• Web discussion of learning unit material. This discussion is designed to allow students an opportunity to ask questions, post information relevant to a particular lecture that they have found from other sources, call attention to new or related URLs, etc. See Electronic Dialog discussion requirements for information on required submissions.





• Web discussion of ethical issues. Each block has an ethical issue that has been put up for discussion. Students are required to respond at least once to this issue during the period of the block.
