Response to
1) Futuristic Scenarios For Online Education/Teachers
by "Brent Muirhead" <bmuirhead@email.uophx.edu>
and
3) on-line curriculum
by "Muhammad Betz, Ph.D." <mbetz@sosu.edu>
I think the most exciting potential for on-line education is the use of
the on-line technologies to find the best pedagogoical learning for all
students., The solution will be different for different students
depending on access, distance, the skills or discipline being learnt and
the learning style of that particular learner. On-line education can
provide many solutions, but what the teachers need is enough knowledge
and confidence to use the technologies to prvide a range of
educationally sound solutions for all learners.
Putting all the curriculunm up on-line with bells, whistles and
interactivity will provide a great learning experience for some students
- but will not bwe the right answer for students for example who are not
able to take responsibility for their own learning and need face-to-face
help and support.
