Ch. 6 Kearsley

For online teaching to be effective, you must think about many things including:
- ensure a high level of student interaction/participation
- provide feedcack
- moderate/facilitate student discussions
- mastery of the online environment
- faculty collaboration

I feel that online teaching can be more time consuming than the traditional teaching approach. However, if well organized, the workload will not be so overwhelming. There many advantages and possibilities through distance education. Some of them include:
- community
- shared knowledge
- exploration
- authenticity
- studen-centeredness
- multisensory approach-
- collaboration
- unboundedness
- availability
For me, DE is an amazing opportunity to work and take classes. I love the many options that are available.
