Thoughts

“Stand and deliver” is not the only way

we can practice pedagogy….we can

collaborate, design, post, podcast,

webcast, download, upload, VoIP and

email.

Vision

Our students can learn in a 24/7

environment regardless of

where they live in the world and

this is the way they will want to

be taught.

Pros

Diverse course subjects that might not otherwise be available

Flexible course structure

Cons

Lack of availability or access to technology

Learning styles of students

Lack of communication and technology skills
