CDB Entry: A Sheep in Wolve's Clothing: I am Teaching Online

Time to be honest. For being immersed in instructional technology for 12 years, I have yet to teach online. I've taught classroom computer courses (Director / Animation), created and delivered lots of workshops, developed a batch of online self-paced tutorials......

Hey Alan..

If you need a little help with that WebCT thing, let me know... I know a bit about it...

;-)

One tool you may want to investigate is the Student Presentation tool: it provides students with their own file/web space...

Also check out the Discussion Object extractor (described at http://careo.elearning.ubc.ca/weblogs/michelle/archives/000545.html)... home page is here:

Its discussions, it's RSS.. there's re-use involved... you'll like it!

"...the last time I worked in WebCT, it was still being coded at University of British Columbia, and user support was direct email with Murray Goldberg."

My my, you really have been doing this for a long time. That was back in the days of mainframe computers powered by tubes and reel-to-reel tape, wasn't it?

Looking forward to your experiences... what I'd really like to know is your perception of the differences between communicationin WebCT and communication in the real world (like here).
