Workshop Content

The Internet is not just woven with information. The web is spun by people who are willing to reach out and communicate their ideas with others.

Even if you are an experienced educator and web developer, you'll find developing and delivering web-based courses a challenge. Each learning environment has unique problems and frustrations. Although your classroom experience and instructional design skills will be extremely valuable, you'll need to adjust how you think about student-teacher communication, class preparation, and many other things you may take for granted in your traditional classroom.

You're already a great teacher. Apply these skills in new ways. If you're a dynamic speaker, think about incorporating audio and video. If you're a great facilitator, consider threaded discussions. If you're super writer, think about web-based documents. At the same time, be thinking about your student and their individual needs.

This workshop will explore practical experiences and "best practice" in distance teaching and learning.

The workshop materials are divided into a dozen topics. Within each topic, you'll find subtopics and additional pages of information.
