Patty,
We are just beginning discussions in our department to offer on-line activity classes. One will be walking and we are going to use the pedometers that have the USB ports. The other is called club fitness where we will partner with area fitness clubs for documentation. That’s as far as we’ve come so far. I’m interested in reading what others are doing.

We are piloting a Fundamentals of Fitness (a requirement for the series) class through Carone Fitness. They have been offering online courses for several years at the high school level, but we are their first college-level customer/client. The crux of the course is learning fitness fundamentals and it is not an easy course to take nor teach. The students have 4 things they do each week: a written assignment, a quiz, a discussion board, and their fitness log. I spend as much time 'teaching' (i.e. grading & commenting) as I do my hybrid lecture class.

You have got to be kidding me. How have we dropped this low?

Who's to know if the student puts their cheap pedometer on the blender and makes a milk shake for their daily PA?
Comparing an online walking class to a disaster/worst case scenario of a coach stealing instructional dollars is not the standard we should be comparing ourselves to. The future better have physiological and video monitoring so the milkshake scenario doesn't become the norm.
