Consider offering several options or polling the class to find times that work for most people.<\/li>\n<li>Hangouts or Google Chats provide a way to connect in real time with an individual or with a group. Students who are part of the group but not online at the time of the discussion will be able to read the transcript the next time they log in to their maine.edu account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Asynchronous Communications:\n<ul>\n<li>Announcements in Brightspace are an effective way to send information to the entire class at once. Students will receive these announcements in the LMS, and can also opt in to receive them via email or text message.<\/li>\n<li>Discussion forums in Brightspace can be used for asynchronous communication between students. Depending on the bandwidth available, students can post a video response to the discussion forum as a way of sharing their perspective.<\/li>\n<li>Google Drive documents, spreadsheets, and other items such as slides can be created and shared with a group of students. Tools for commenting, tracking changes, annotating and chatting are available within the documents and may be a good substitute for in person collaborations or group work.<\/li>\n<li>Email can be used, of course, for communicating with individuals, groups, or with your entire class.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"Sharing_course_materials\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Sharing Course Materials, Readings, and Lectures<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Course materials, readings or documents can be uploaded to Brightspace.

Faculty can evaluate the work and provide feedback and grades within Brightspace.<\/li>\n<li>Google Drive can be used as a depository for student work, and the tools of Google Drive enable commenting and chat features that can be used as feedback or collaboration tools.<\/li>\n<li>Student presentations can be recorded using a web camera or screen sharing a powerpoint with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/citl\/faculty-support\/kaltura\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaltura<\/a>.

Can you provide a published data set for analysis and discussion?<\/li>\n<li>There are many virtual labs now that provide tools that can introduce many of the concepts of introductory laboratory courses.
