- W109243016 abstract "Transportation (CE 376) is a required upper division course taught for civil engineering students at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. This survey course is tasked with introducing the students to all phases of transportation. Class participation is important for student learning, though in-class discussions are wrought with issues such as dominant students and time limitations. An Internet based discussion component was added to this course through WebCT to address the course content overload, allow more equal student access to class discussions, and allow for deeper student thought about specific topics. The WebCT discussions were on topics that augmented in-class lectures, built on in-class activities, or addressed transportation topics not specifically covered in class. The WebCT discussions were a required part of the class, were graded and the combined semester discussion grade counted for approximately ten-percent of the student’s final grade. Discussion grades were assigned using a rubric that rewarded well thought out responses, gave average scores for adequate responses, and penalized disrespectful responses. Each discussion topic was available for comment from one to two weeks. The students were required to make two postings to the WebCT discussion page; one based on their own personal thoughts on the discussion piece, and a second to share their thoughts with regard to the discussion piece as commented on by other students. This method resulted in the discussion growing in both depth and breadth. Student reaction to the electronic classroom discussion was favorable, though there were complaints surrounding computer access and downloading of large discussion files. In-class discussion topic follow-up showed that many of the students had used the opportunity to think through the topics, becoming well versed in them. The depth of thought displayed in the discussion responses was outstanding, well beyond the expectations of the professor. The use of the out of class WebCT discussion technique provided many important benefits for this class. Allowed student participation at a pace set by each student within the context of the course; Allowed inclusion of topics beyond the normal scope of the course; Required the students to participate in a class activity while not physically in-class; Challenged students to a high degree of thought (content and format) to receive high marks; and Allowed assessment of student thoughts and writing without using in-class time. A WebCT or other electronic based discussion could be successfully added to all upper-division engineering courses with equally successful results." @default.
