Hi Glad to hear that a soft, personal approach worked. I did some searching of psychinfo and the internet, including various teaching-related links I had previously connected, without a lot of success. I did find the following list of suggestions at:
http://www.hcc.hawaii.edu/intranet/committees/FacDevCom/guidebk/ teachtip/behavior.htm {all one continuous url} ----------------------------------------- Don't embarrass talkers. Ask their opinion on topic being discussed. Ask talkers if they would like to share their ideas. Casually move toward those talking. Make eye contact with them. Comment on the group (but don't look at them "one-at-a-time"). Standing near the talkers, ask a near-by participant a question so that the new discussion is near the talkers. As a last resort, stop and wait. ------------------------------------------------- I also found some rather "harsh" approaches being recommended at a number of what would seem like respectable sites.
