"One of the great things I think I'm taking away from the course is how/what to teach those persons who are our next course authors to prepare them for distance education curriculum writing and presentation."
B. N., Tennessee

"Not only have I learned about the dynamics of online learning communities experientially, I have also had the opportunity to utilise reflection and evaluation to deepen my understanding."
J.W., New Zealand

"As a learner, I now have a much better "feel" for what my students will go through. I'll put that knowledge to good use. "
P.S., Ohio

"Being a participant has reminded me of something I once understood but had allowed myself to forget--the experience of being the learner in the online classroom. I had forgotten what it is like to be in such a learning situation where I don't know anyone and no one knows me apart from what is written in the forum. This has reinforced for me the importance of the learner-learner relationship and has challenged me to think about ways I might work toward strengthening that relationship in my own classroom."

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: The upcoming April/May 2007 session will be the final workshop offered. After a very successful 4 years of offering the Online Workshop, new priorities/projects are demanding more and more attention and it is now time to move on to them. Thanks to everyone who have participated in the workshops and have made them such a tremendous success. Good luck in all of your distance education endeavors!! Joe Levine

If you answered 4 or 5 of these items with "No, this is NOT my concern at this time" you're probably ready for the Online Workshop. Please take a few more minutes to check out the different features of the Online Workshop and the upcoming dates when it will be offered. We would welcome your registration.
