Hi TechRhet. Hope everyone's 2002 is going along swimmingly thus far. Here's a question that popped up on our in-house discussion for online teachers, today...
Happy new year, everyone. Here's one thing your question about retention and participation brings up for me, Kathy: I'm never teaching an online course again...
Kathy, I have been teaching courses that are, with the exception of the first evening (which is a f2f training meeting), meets in my MOO. The retention has...

... Dene, Yeah, I think I'm really inclined to agree with the emphasis you put on training, here--as well as with the importance of professors selecting the...
... I'm wondering for how many places this is true, that you can't get a scheduled online meeting time for a DE course, and that you're not allowed to require...
... I dunno, I have to disagree here. When we were doing classes for the UAW-Ford folks, synchronous meetings were *very* difficult, because those people are...

Yup, you nailed it. Yet this is an ongoing struggle for me. When I taught my first online course (I'm heading into #5 now--gosh, did that go fast!), I actually...
This was the first year I was told I had to seek *permission* to teach the DE courses as I wished. Academic freedom be damned. So, I imagine that rules are...

I have to echo what Judy wrote in her post. It seems that at a number of institutions the wrong people are making the wrong decisions for reasons that are not...
... Actually, most corporate training that I've had experience with takes place in a class-type setting, at least in part because that's what the trainees...
Yeah, corporate training model is the wrong way to say what I meant. I was thinking of the many online independent study courses that I've seen and looked at,...
Ooh, the "E" vs "T" way of looking at things is interesting. Really, I'm *already* teaching a "T", I think, in my f2f courses, where we do meet on campus 2-3...
