... a method was provided for determining annual mortality from a portion of an age series. Using this method, the mortality rates for lake trout from [ages 3] to 9 and 4 to 9 were 0. 329 and 0. 555, respectively. Again, the difference between these latter two mortality rates may be a reflection of angler mortality differences between 3-year-old lake trout and age [4 plus] fish. 2, record 1, English, - age%20series

How does an instructor facilitate learning through discussion in an online classroom? Most of us do this every day in our traditional face-to-face classrooms. We lead our students through discussions using strategies that promote reflection and further exploration of issues and topics. We use specific questioning techniques that draw out our students’ opinions, prior knowledge and experience upon which they construct new knowledge. Discussions have long been a valuable method of learning through interaction with other learners and all teachers know how effective this shared learning is for the application of knowledge. The same premise holds true in the online class. Students are encouraged to participate in discussions as they share prior knowledge and experience and use that as a stepping stone in constructing new knowledge. 1, record 5, English, - shared%20learning
