MAILING LISTS

Hi

I recently took a case based teaching workshop and the facilitator did a really neat thing of having a "board plan"

he would decide beforehand how the lay out capturing the reporting conversation......maybe a strength column, weakness column, possible solutions, what ever

he captured the reporting conversation quietly as the students discussed it....then he had this beautiful closure by just reviewing the board.....many students copied down the diagrams on boards...as their take-away

Jennifer,

I haven't used a traditional text in my theatre history courses for several years relaying instead on excerpts and condensed version of my lecture notes.  I have been very happy with this and have not had any student complaints.

As for Wikis, I'm going to give them a try this Fall.  Each team will be responsible for two Wikis (one dealing with a play read by everyone in the class and the second with a movement/"ism").  Students not on the teams creating each Wiki will be required to ask questions/post comments on each Wiki.  I've not worked with Wikis before so I expect it to fall somewhere between "crash-and-burn" and "glorious success."

Tim
