Joey Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 This is a somewhat cool idea. Make a chat section in the forum where students can ask questions to each other and answer each other's doubts. Get multiple rooms for different subjects. Many online rooms for cooperative revision. I think it's an owning idea. Comments? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneyfaery Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 You can make the thread. I'm not too sure about the "rooms" idea though. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am in favour of that, but the current Subject subforums serve that purpose, no? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Lc~ Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I think he was refering to a shoutbox scenario? which would not be as useful as posting it in threads in the subject forums because these will last and people can go through them rather than a "chat" function where the questios and helpful feedback will dissappear after =) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Revision threads on the forums would be more helpful, I agree, especially if it was 'evented' -i.e. a time set and everybody contributing roughly simultaneously Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 If people were to psot a question everytime they had one, the forums would be polluted. An additional idea would be to invite college students or even teachers if possible to come in and answer the questions. =) MSN Video Conference lessons could also work, though that's a bit of an extreme, with careful planning everything is possible. For example, I have a white board in my room. Regards Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruan Chun Xian Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Possibly too complicated. I'm thinking if you want a revision thread, then make a big general revision thread in the individual subject forum and ask all the small revision related questions there. Kind of hard to get everyone on the forum at once considering the spread of the people around the world. Well, unless you're in Canada. for some reason this fourm has a lot of Canadians.

It could work that way. But there's no insurance people will read the announcements or be available... thoughts? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
