...speakers’ chosen forum. The Supreme Court breaks down forums into three types: traditional public forums, designated forums, and nonpublic forums. See Perry Educ. Ass’n v. Perry Educators’ Ass’n, 460 U.S. 37 (1983). Finally, some public property is not a forum at all. Traditional public forums include public parks, sidewalks and areas that have been traditionally open to political speech and debate. Speakers’ in these areas enjoy the strongest First Amendment protections. In traditional public forums, the government may not discriminate against speakers based on their views. This is called “viewpoint discrimination.” The government may, however, subject speech to reasonable, content-neutral restrictions on its time, place, and manner. When considering government restrictions of speech in traditional public forums, courts use “strict scrutiny.” Under strict scrutiny, restrictions are allowed only if they serve a compelling state interest and are narrowly tailored to meet the needs of that interest. Sometimes, the government opens public property for public expression even though the public property is not a traditional public forum. These are designated public forums. After opening a designated public forum, the government is not obligated to keep it open. However, so long as the government does keep the forum open, speech in the forum receives the same First Amendment protections as speech in traditional public forums. Examples of designated public forums include municipal...

...TECHNOLOGY AND SMALL GROUPS Recent advances in new communication technologies are not only changing how small groups interact, but are also redefining our notion of a small group. Although some organizations have used technology such as telephones and videoconferencing for some time, those communication tools are costly. New technologies, particularly the Internet, allow for asynchronous and synchronous communication among small group members at relatively low cost. These technologies are altering small group membership, functions, and processes. Research on Technology and Small Group Communication Most research on the use of technology in small group work compares groups that use communication technologies (such as discussion boards and videoconferencing) to those that meet face-to-face. With the rapid changes in communication technology, many problems associated with groups that do not meet face-to-face have been reduced or eliminated. Still, groups that never meet face-to-face can encounter difficult challenges. And yet, not meeting face-to-face also has its advantages. New communication technologies can create new environments that produce more open, fluid, and dynamic small group environments. For example, recent research suggests that online discussions facilitate collaborative learning in the university classroom. One study found that students who are actively engaged in online discussion earned higher grades in large lecture class and felt that they learned more...

However, if you need to contact me, please feel free to send me an email directly. Also, be sure to ENTER YOUR CURRENT STUDENT ID NUMBER and CLASS ID ON ALL EMAILS, otherwise a response will be significantly delayed. All homework assignments must be posted on Blackboard. Assignments emailed to me will not receive any credit. The Blackboard system is our “classroom” therefore you must turn in all assignments into the BB system. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!! DO NOT EMAIL ME. There are no face-to-face meetings in this distance education class. You will receive all information for the class electronically. ONLINE students, after the semester begins, you must check the News page every day. Anything less and you will be jeopardizing your grade and status in the class! This is an intense class which imitates a regular in-person class. Also, this is a 3 unit college level class and as such requires 10-12 hours of study per week. As is the case with many on-campus courses, History 121 requires that the student be highly disciplined and motivated. This course offers considerable flexibility for the completion of assignments, yet like students taking Asian History at the SCC campus, on-line students must meet certain deadlines in order to complete the course successfully. Late work will not be accepted!! No exceptions!!! PREREQUISITES None. However...

...applied to the impersonal nature of an online forum? Interpersonal communication means transmitting a message from one person to another. The pathway involves a sender, a receiver and a message, a feedback and noise. The sender keeps the receiver in mind when he sends the message. Thus a sender uses his conversational and language skills when transmitting the message. Though an online forum is not a direct communication but the basic principles are the same. The sender sends the message through the forum which acts as a medium to multiple receivers. The advertisements on the forum and the various comments besides his own can be categorized as noise. The sender still keeps the receiver's preferences and their mindset in perspective. He will target those whom he needs to read his comments in the forum. Thus the basic structure in interpersonal communication and communication on an online forum remains the same. The only difference lies in the skills possessed by the sender. The sender doesn’t need only good linguistic skills as a direct sender would but he also should know how to write. His spellings, grammar and punctuation should be correct so as to not deter his readers. There should be a flow in his writing so the readers are not distracted by errors of writing, otherwise his own errors will increase the strength of the perceptual screen of the receivers. The perceptual screen of the receiver is also present in the online forums but in this case it very narrowly filters the...

...English 103: Winter 2015 Expectations for Discussion Forums: Be ready to participate in our discussion forums; that means, you will have read all required materials and thought about them prior to posting. As mentioned in the syllabus, I recommend you post your comments early on and not wait until the last minute, i.e. 11:58PM. Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, January 8, you should also visit the discussion forum more than indicated on our weekly schedule. Imagine being in a “real” class where you might want to engage in class discussions. When you “engage,” you’ll respond to comments made by other students, which will create lively discussions. So, in other words, students in discussion forums earn top grades if they participate (i.e. post more than one thoughtful and interesting post) as this active participation is critical for your learning experience in an online format. One thing about the online format is that you cannot “hide.” You will get no credit if you don’t “say” something (so, in that way, an online class might be more difficult). As your instructor, I will facilitate our discussions and might comment on this or that post and share ideas but I will not address each and every post. I will check and read your discussions on a regular bases. Please read below some of the guidelines for successful participation and its subsequent Discussion Participation Rubric (from ww2.nau.edu/d-elearn/support/tutorials/discrubrics/disc1.php which I found very useful...
