In this presentation …
• Challenges of teaching (Mathematics)DL
• Technology offers a solution
• Benefits and Outcomes

Challenges …• Students are used to conventional
methods of teaching.• Perceived lack of structure or
support.• Computer skills (or the lack
thereof…) are a factor.

Overcoming challenges …
1. Establishing and clearly articulating class routine
2. Establishing resources for technical help
3. Maintaining communication through Discussion Board or e-mail
4. Meeting with students “ in person” in the Virtual Classroom

“ … I was afraid of online math classes before, but this proved to be a good experience.”
“ … I never had a professor that takes time out of her personal schedule to meet with students online. I met with her and a few more students in the virtual classroom (at 9pm !), and it was really helpful.”
“ … I liked the fact that professor cares about my learning and met with me as much as was needed.”
“ … I love the Virtual Classroom, it’s like a messenger, but much better!”
“ … I didn’t think I can pull it off with my newly born baby. But professor met with me online when my baby was asleep.”
Outcomes …
