Online+Enhanced

**The Online Enhanced model in Jeffco could be one of a few different options.**
Looking at the image to the left, you can use a Jeffco Online Course as either a resource bank, or an online companion course. You could also take a Course Shell (if you are teaching a course that isn't offered online) to create a resource bank, or an online companion course.

Best Practice: Be Present
Use the announcements and discussion board to communicate with the students. This lets students know that the teacher cares about who they are, thier questions and concerns, and that you are 'present'. Show your presence daily. Note: Students who feel abandoned or who feel alone may even post questions, such as "Is anybody there?" This is a very clear and unambiguous signal that not all is well. //Mari Hobkirk, Online Learning Specialist//

Best Practice: Use both synchronous and asynchronous activities
Sometimes there is nothing better than a real-time interactive brainstorming and sharing discussion; other times the requirement to think, plan, write and summarize is what makes learning most effective for an individual. The variety of activities that are now possible online makes it possible to create many types of effective learning environments. //Mari Hobkirk, Online Learning Specialist//
