Working in pairs and in small teams that change often, ideas will be presented and critiqued. Participants will be involved in many activities and discussion groups. This workshop will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of what distance learning is, where it has been, and where it is going in the next 25 years. It will provide participants with firsthand knowledge of how to modify traditional courses and how to design new courses for distance learning with the World Wide Web and interactive television. Course planning and organization will be placed in the context of an instructional systems approach to teaching and learning for decision making.
Emphasis is on distance course design and instructional skills rather than equipment operation.
A resource bibliography will be available for your review. You will work with ideas, not equipment that becomes obsolete quickly. Each module contains the appropriate components needed to achieve the learning performance objectives for that module. Send e-mail to Center for Educational Development.
