Discussion Question 1:
How do online groups affect the dynamics of group communication? If we think of the classroom as a group, what are some norms (standards of behavior) that have formed in this class? Next, consider the use of online collaboration in cheat sites, such as, CourseHero.com or Koofers.com. These sites present themselves as there to "help" students, but instead, facilitate cheating. What are the benefits and challenges of participating in virtual meetings with classmates? What should be consequences for students who use cheat sites?
Discussion Question 2:
Effectively collaborating in groups requires that all individuals adhere to the same writing standards, style and expectation. To facilitate this process, Aspen University has adopted APA style as the standard format for writing assignments (see Aspen University expectations for writing). Conduct an online search for website resources that help students learn to write in APA style. Provide a list of the three resource websites that you find most useful for learning to write in APA style. Reflecting on the lists of your peers, which sites have you used in the past? What suggestions or advice can you offer to help master APA style?
