A brief bio : A brief bio It feels good to be a life long learner and techno-educator. So, my chances of using the web for classroom has become possible. All this started with BAW09 EVO online course and CO10. My forte has been with multimedia and language learning.
Description of the presentation : Description of the presentation Exploring the ways of making students work on an online activity can be challenging. But it is necessary to provide opportunities to students. This presentation is based on the paragraph writing activity given as an online assignment for the first semester Engineering students at VIT.

Thinking of such activities as important for students, my explorations opens up a whole new world because one challenge unfolds new ideas.
