Re: verifying attendance in online courses

I took online classes and these were some methods we used: 

Discussion Boards, instructor gives out discussion points and all participants must log in so many times over the week.

Online face-time

Voice thread conversations: instructor posts their discussion and what he/she wants and all students must prepare and record their response and post on Voice Thread

Blackboard discussions with instructor

Hi all;

 

UMW needs to rework some of its procedures and policies related to what is considered initially attending an online course (i.e. students logging in an reading materials is not considered participation for the federal government).  What are some approaches you use to verify participation in online courses when the information is needed?

 

Thanks for your thoughts
