Course Overview:

The role of the teacher in the online classroom is no less important than it is in the traditional classroom, it is just different. Get insights in to how to make the move from "stage on the stage" to "guide on the side" as you move your classroom into cyberspace. This course will introduce you to the tools used in the online classroom, the concepts of student-centered learning and give you ideas on how to encourage student participation. All of this will help you find your place in the virtual classroom.
