Description: This 2003 publication from Southern Regional Education Board looks at issues of high quality teaching in the online environment.
As more and more K-12 students use Web-based courses, it is important to identify the essential qualities of online teachers. These teachers must know their subjects and how to teach them, must be able to communicate well via computers and the Web, and must be able to encourage active participation by students. This publication looks at the unique skills required for online teachers and concludes with a checklist that can be used to help determine whether such teachers meet standards in several areas. |
