iMET 9 Assignment

280 Fundamentals of Online Pedagogy

An Introduction to College of Education (COE) Forum

August 24, 2006

The California State University, Sacramento, College of Education (COE) provides an online forum, or discussion board for students in the iMET program, located at http://coeforum.csus.edu/ubbthreads.php

The COE forum is utilized extensively throughout the iMET program . The forum is one of two primary means of scholarly student-to-student communication (the other being the Tapped-in interface). Student work posted to the forum is read by all other students in the cohort and is available via the Internet to the outside world. Therefore, please compose your responses carefully and do your best work, so as to reflect positively upon the iMET program and the university. Please read and follow these 'core rules' of netiquette found in Virginia Shea's book on Internet Etiquette and remember to use the FAQ page on the forum for answers to specific questions about using the COE forum.

We suggest that you compose your response using a word processing program, Word or Notepad etc., and then post a copy of it to the forum. Composing your response directly within the forum's text editor may result in a loss of work during your first few attempts at posting. Additionally, you may still need to edit your response using the forum's text editor because it has a few little HTML quirks.

Carefully read the instructions for each assignment and double check to see that all questions have been addressed and run spell check one last time before posting.
