Abstract

One challenge facing online instructors is ensuring that students are viewing course resources. While a well-designed LMS can help increase the likelihood that students see class content, the challenge of getting students to view instructor-created resources (i.e. extended assignment directions, helpful videos, templates, lectures, etc.) still exists. One way to combat this challenge is to introduce the use of a virtual "3-ring binder" tool called LiveBinder. With LiveBinder, instructors can create a virtual library of all instructor-created resources that can easily be shared in numerous ways with students and other stakeholders.
