Each week that we work together, we'll try to follow the same rhythm. On Monday, the beginning of our week, I'll post a short video that presents basic ideas for the week, looks back at the previous week, and issues a challenge as the centerpiece of our reflections and learning.

From Monday through Wednesday, you'll work in a small group discussion (using MyLutherNet). Each small group will work the questions or exercise, and then summarize their learning for the large group, posting their summary by midnight on Wednesday.

Thursday through Friday we'll carry on a larger group discussion based on these summaries within the large group discussion space. Your minimum requirement is to post one substantial individual reflection, and one response to someone else's comment, within that larger space. If you're interested in working towards more learning (or a higher letter grade, if you've asked for a letter grade), then posting more than the minimum will be important.
