Abstract:
While it might intuitively seem that teaching online saves time as opposed to teaching face-to-face, time requirements are often much greater. Different presentation and management techniques must be learned, adding time to course development, administration and delivery. Professors must understand the challenges of delivering courses (or perhaps just portions of courses) online, as the number of students taking classes online and the number of online classes offered are both increasing dramatically, and they must learn how to deliver them effectively and efficiently. This paper contributes numerous ideas, using various types of technology, for effective and efficient delivery of courses online.
