Scaffolding Success in the Large Online Class
Kimber Palmer
Texas A&M International University
Offering large online classes is attractive to administrators who like greater teacher/student ratios and the smaller overhead expense. However, large classes can be unwieldy if taught like low-enrollment online classes. Offered are tried-and-true techniques which accommodate enrollments of more than 50 without losing quality. These classes are writing intensive, rich in communication, include presentation assignments, and utilize ANGEL's online assessment features.
