One-Best-Answer Questions
Hamlet’s lines following the death of Ophelia suggest that:
1.Hamlet really loved Ophelia, and is so distraught to learn of her death that he proposes to eat a crocodile.
2.Hamlet thinks that Laertes’s grief is mere posturing, and mocks it by exaggeration.
3.Hamlet cares little for Ophelia, but is eager to enter into a rhetorical chest-thumping competition with her brother.

Discussion Forums
OAK / Blackboard
Why use discussion forums?
• To share common concerns & questions, maybe anonymously• To motivate students to think about material before class• To move discussion outside of class, leaving more class time for
other tasks• To make it easier for some students to express themselves—in
writing• To build community, relationships, study groups• To give students a space to apply course material to their “real lives”• To allow students to share and comment on non-textual media
Blogs
EXAMPLES
Microblogging(Twitter)
• Following, tweeting, and searching• Monica Rankin’s Twitter Experiment
Collaborative Tools• Google Docs• Zoho
Wikis An open, collaborative community website where anyone can
contribute.
Group space in which many individuals can be part of the
construction of knowledge and/or presentation of information.
The most popular wiki is Wikipedia.
Effective as a way to get many students to contribute
