Psychology 100 Fully Online

course (Critical Thinking) was taught for the first time in Spring 2015. It is taught completly online. After taking a QOLT class, several planned changes to the course were conceived. The intention of the redesign is to make the course more personal, increase the presence of the instructor, with the goal increasing the accountability and performance of the students who enroll in the class. In order to accomplish this a number of best practices that were covered in the QOLT class need to be implimented. These changes include such things as increasing the presence of the instructor in the chatrooms, more of a video and web chat presence, and reducing the lag between assignment deadlines and return of grades. Other changes will be detailed in the course redesign materials below.
