NISOD Innovation Abstracts, #19 and #20


Vol. XXV, No. 19-

In "Teaching a Web-Based History Class," Jamie Karmel, Associate Professor of History at Harford Community College (MD), shares the steps taken and lessons learned in designing and conducting a distance learning course in history-including building the course, uncovering critical information about students, and identifying important elements of keeping online students committed and successful (and thus, as an instructor working more successfully toward reducing the high dropout numbers of students currently enrolled in college online courses).

Vol. XXV, No. 20-

In "Responsibility in the Classroom," David Sack, Professor of Mathematics at Lincoln Land Community College (IL), shares some eye-opening experiences that led him on a path toward becoming a better instructor, including changing some of his approaches to instruction and clarifying the focus on student responsibilities for their own learning. He reports that the results of these relatively few changes have been remarkable.
