Jackie has put up for us a downloadable version of a little table I did delineating some of the tools needed to create online versions of what typically happens on-land classes.

Hope you find this useful. You might want to check out the resources at the wiki, too.
Yesterday I attended Barbara Ganley's keynote at the WiAOC conference
<http://wiaoc.org/schedule>
in which she described how she gets students to do some very thoughtful, highly intelligent blogging for her courses. She shows them some models from previous semesters in class, and also has a teacher's blog they can read. She gave us several excepts of the wonderful stuff they have written. She also mentioned that in-class time was too precious to use with technology, so for her it was all outside of the land-based portions of the course. I think this is how many teachers treat the blended environment.
After the conference is over, you can read and listen to the recordings of all the talks and chats. I'll be posting some of the addresses to this list.
And hope you find time this weekend to attend some of the conference presentations, many of which are really good models of how to do online lectures/discussions. Remember we are doing a wrap-up on Sunday evening at Tappedn In, 5:00 p.m. PDT - 8:00 p.m. EDT. Hope to see you at one or more of the venues during the conference.
Cheers--

Oh my gosh, Elizabeth. THANK YOU for this! Can you believe I have worked
on Moodle but never knew it was free?
