Teaching Online Course

Description of the Course: Are teachers afraid to use the Internet for teaching and learning? During the course we will examine the nature of the highly publicized gap between the world we live in and the low level of Internet use in schools and try to draw outline for online pedagogy. Will be discussed: the cultural dimensions of the Internet: communication and access to information, online identity management, communication and establishing of a significant online community, instructions for online conversation, the Internet and fostering literacy text, design and learning environment in the Internet world, accessibility of learning materials. Towards the end of the image of “good student”, “good teacher “and the “Best School” reality in today’s Global web.

“For centuries the university model dominated because nothing else worked. No technology existed that might deliver an interactive, engaging educational experience without gathering students and teachers in the same physical space….These days broadband Internet, video games, social networks, and other developments could combine to create an online, inexpensive, super-convenient model for higher education”, by Kevin Maney, September 14, 2009, BusinessWeek
