A GUIDE ON STUDYING ON LMS

American Culture and Society


A. Task list

Task 1: Preparing
Read the unit in your coursebook in advance. Highlight important points and parts
that you need further research and discussion in class.

Task 2: Watching the lecture


Log in to LMS. Watch the videos and readings provided. Take notes on important
points and parts that you need further research and discussion.

Task 3: Discussion
The discussion forum is designed to support interaction between you and other
classmates. Exchanging and sharing ideas enriches your knowledge on the topic and
clarifies confusing matters.
In this activity, every week, you will need to make at least 3 posts on the discussion
board.
 Post 1: respond to 2 discussion questions of the week assigned by teachers.
 Post 2: write a 200-word response summarise the content of a video clip/ news
report/ documentary/an articles on newspapers or research article and
discuss how the reading/ lesson in class help you engage with the materials.
You should upload the link of the materials at the end of the post
 Post 3: respond to you classmates’ posts (you can pick any of your classmates’
posts to respond).
Aim to answer to each discussion question or peer post in at least 8 sentences
(around 100 words). You will not get points if you post something like: “I agree with
you.” Try to explain why you agree/disagree and evidence from the text to support
your statements. If you are the first person to join the discussion board, you can
post your respond to the discussion questions of your choice and come back a few
days later to respond to your peers’ posts.

A note on Online Classroom Etiquette:
Think carefully before you click the “send” button. Use appropriate language and
avoid offensive subjects when you communicate with your teacher and classmates.
Be polite and open-minded, do not dominate any discussion because everyone’s
voice should be listened.
Don’t keep your wonderful ideas for yourself. Share them with the others and things
you get back are unexpectedly brilliant

B. Assessment on LMS

Some suggestions for a successful B-learning course
To assist in both student and faculty adjustment, I have developed the following
student success guidelines and have shared them with faculty in both our literary
studies and creative writing programmes:
Regularly login to the course several times per week and check for announcements
and ongoing bulletin board discussions.
Expect to spend at least six to eight hours per week on the course. This includes
completing readings, posting to the assigned discussion forum (and in some cases
chat) on a regular basis, and developing your written projects.
Devote specific periods of time to the course and block out your calendar for this
purpose. Although the class does not meet face to face, research has shown that
those students who schedule in this way are more consistent in participation and
ultimately more successful in an online course. This is true for teachers as well; thus,
you can expect to receive responses to email and phone inquiries within almost any
12–24-hour period (and likely sooner), unless otherwise announced.
Don’t just disappear. Failure to complete assignments by the deadline, participate in
online discussions, and so forth will negatively impact your success in the course in
that your final grade will be affected if you fail to participate. Life gets in the way
for all of us; if you have a personal or professional conflict, communicate with the
instructor as soon as possible via private email.
Determine how you learn best. Some of us learn more effectively through visual
aids, or through hands-on training and other forms of applied learning. Others need
to listen and hear lectures and discussions, synthesizing ideas in order to apply
them. If you are having difficulty with some aspect of the course, the instructor is
available via telephone or face to face by appointment. Always feel free to ask for
help or clarification of assignments, deadlines, and document submission
procedures. In addition, there is a learning style inventory you will be asked to
complete during our orientation phase to help you self-assess your learning needs.
View your classmates as a valuable source of feedback on your work. The instructor
is a guide, and one source of professional expertise. Others, including you, will also
have experiences and have ideas that are useful to the group. Feel free to share, to
exchange email and ideas. Your participation is vital to the success of everyone in
the course. Although there may be a prompt related to the specific module, feel free
to start a new thread based on ideas that interest you, or to share resources that you
find on the web or through other research methods.

Avoid having the course become a mere ‘email correspondence course’ between you
and the instructor; unless it is a personal matter, any question or comment you are
likely to have will be of relevance to the group.
