"Using Online Technology in Education: What, Why, How?" (A Panel Presentation)

What is the history of "technology" to deliver education beyond the traditional classroom? Why do we use online education at all? What is the UO currently doing in the area of online and distance education? What resources and talents does a faculty member need to design and deliver an online course? What resources are available at UO?

This whirlwind tour will attempt to answer all these questions and more. If you're interested in exploring the possibilities of online teaching at UO, here's your opportunity to learn what you need to get started.

Presented by the Teaching Effectiveness Program

The Teaching Effectiveness Program will help alleviate the mysteries of online teaching by exploring the pedagogical concerns instructors face when considering a move toward online teaching. We'll examine the role of the instructor in the online environment, dispel common myths and concerns about teaching with online technology, open participants eyes to things they should consider before they begin developing an online course and reinforce strategies for increasing your success in online teaching.
