Student Enthusiasm for Online Teamwork Starts with You
Madison, Wis.—September 19— An instructor’s enthusiasm for student teamwork is one of the essentials of making it work in online courses, says Errol Craig Sull, a composition instructor who has taught online courses for more than 10 years.
“You must remain teamwork’s most ardent cheerleader not only in words but in deeds,” said Sull, who has developed online teaching activities in use at more than 200 colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. His advice was part of the recent Magna Online Seminar “Making Online Teamwork Vibrant—and Getting Everyone Involved!”
During the live event, Sull detailed several ways to demonstrate enthusiasm for teamwork, including:
• emphasizing and explaining teamwork early in the class
• sharing examples of teamwork “genius” with the rest of the class
• answering all teamwork questions within 24 hours
Sull shared several other practical ways to make teamwork effective and fun. If you missed the live event, CDs and transcripts are available for purchase in our online store.
