Teaching at an Internet Distance: The Pedagogy of Online Teaching and Learning
Publication year:
1999
| Cataloged on:
Jul. 26, 2010
ANNOTATION: A group of 16 faculty members met over the course of a year to attend a seminar that discussed issues surrounding pedagogy and "what made teaching to be good teaching, whether online or in a classroom." Areas covered include: origin and objectives of the seminar; the present status of online instruction; an overview of online teaching and learning; elements of good teaching; teaching evaluation; ancillary concerns such as copyright; and conclusions and recommendations. It was "concluded that online teaching and learning can be done with high quality if new approaches are employed which compensate for the limitations of the technology, and if professors make the effort to create and maintain the human touch of attentiveness to their students. Online courses may be appropriate for both traditional and non-traditional students; they can be used in undergraduate education, continuing education, and in advanced degree programs. (p.2)"
