 * Good practice encourages student-faculty contact / Good practice communicates high expectations **

1. Student can review the video captured in the lecture anytime (sorry, I was wrong, um... I’m partly correct!) 2. I would suggest video-taped the lecture and then put them into YouTube or send students a link to access to enhance learning. 3. Faculty member can browse the comments and suggestions and try to answer the questions, and interact with the students. 4. Communications by email, twitter, facebook sharing personal experience  
 * [Nick] Point 3 is really where interaction comes, as was mentioned in class. Having a discussion around the video from questions raised by students would be an excellent increase in student-faculty contact. What if student products such as reports, assignments or presentations were shared and commented on by you to highlight best work so students can see what good/excellent work looks like? This might help to communicate high expectations as well. **
 * Good practice encourages cooperation among students **

Traditional method: group project New method: in discussion board? Facebook? Google document

Students can communicate and cooperate through the internet. They can use facebook or discussion tech like this one or etc to share one's own ideas and respond to others' reactions improves thinking and deepens understanding. This is not limited by time, and we don't need to gather in a certain place at a certain time. This encourage more interaction between students not only in the classroom

The instructor could create a BBS for them, and post some questions on facebook or something else, and let student discuss and give opinion.

What about some outing activities to help them to know each other better and have a chance to? Playing some games may also be helpful. <span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">
 * <span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">[Nick] For lecture classes, also think about peer learning supported using PRS – not for one-off answering of quizzes but for learning from peers with discussion of answers and answering a second time after discussion. **[|**http://celt.ust.hk/ideas/**]<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">

 * <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">[Otis] Setting up a discussion board is a good idea. But think about whether it //per se// is enough to promote interaction? Think about this course: who has often used the discussion function in LMES? It would be useful to know what conditions favor and discourage discussions among students, alongside the availability of a discussion board. **

 * <span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">[Nick] Yes. There are some very excellent multimedia web-based presentation tools, which allow you to present in different ways than the standard PowerPoint … which all too often becomes death by “PowerPoint”.
