assignmentsthat require an on-line response or chat room discussion. Another method is to require eachstudent to find a hosting firm and develop a case study (relating to the content of the course) thatis presented to the class. One more strategy for maximizing outside of class behavior relates tothe time consuming activity of viewing audio visual materials such as DVDs.
