She had 3 weeks to get 5 ecollege modules ready which took a lot of time but was a good experience. The course taught to students all over the state. It has a video and audio introduction. It uses primarily audio and PowerPoint and she records cassettes on a studio that she has built in her rec room at home. The students keep an online journal where they respond to questions from the textbook.
Students also do service learning, which is a challenge to facilitate with remote students.
She plans to use Blackboard this semester for another course. One student does not have a computer at home, which makes the class much more difficult. A national mailing advertising the program is about to go out for next semester. Publicity is also spreading by word of mouth. He tries to keep it as close as possible to the live class, i.e., PowerPoint with an audio voiceover.
