Abstract:Rapid advances in online education bring new focus to online teaching and learning strategies. As faculty seek best practices to design online learning experiences, familiar tools can be applied in new ways. Qualitative tools such as interview and observation provide a beginning toolkit for developing authentic and meaningful applied assignments. A student-focused online learning community evolves as students share experiences and build meaning from the assignments and discussion. Strategies, benefits, and sample online learning assignments using qualitative tools are shared.
