Post Bank Wizard is a web application created to help online and hybrid—class instructors
collect and organize their quality discussion posts from multiple classes, terms,
and even universities.
Many online universities are recognizing the value of post-bank databases and are
requiring from the potential instructors to create them during the training process.
Instructors always collect material that works well in the classroom, and make improvements
to it, modifying and perfecting the ways it is used. For online instructors, that
means keeping posts in word-processing files, where it is impossible to efficiently
search through the file or sort the posts according to the week or a class. It can
be such a frustrating experience that instructors choose to recreate the material,
rather than search for it. This inefficiency results in loss of precious instruction
time, which is more needed in online setting than anywhere else is.
Post Bank Wizard is a web application that will enable the user to store her/his
posts by easily and intuitively creating a university, class, and week folders.
Furthermore, user will be able to organize posts into threads the same way they
are organized in the web portal such a Blackboard or E-College, making the retrieval
of the stored posts a breeze. Since the instructor databases are available online
through logging into the application, it is easy to work from any location where
internet is available.
However, Post Bank Wizard is not just a place where one can organize the posts into
meaningful categories.
Online instructors teaching at multiple colleges and multiple sessions can use Post
Bank Wizard to keep track of start and end dates of each class, the current week
of the session, the number of active classes at the moment, and number of posts
to each class in the current week.
By simply logging into your Post Bank Wizard account, you could easily keep track
of meeting the requirements for each university, as well as appointments and tasks
on your schedule.
