Continue OTL Discussion...

Thank you all who participated and interacted with us during the Online Teaching and Learning Conference today @ coordinated by Jossey-Bass. There were so many ideas and strategies shared during the presentation.

Some of the questions raised during our presentation included: Does teaching online benefit face-to-face teaching? Does presence mean being constantly online? What is the role of instructor's presence in an asynchronous situation? How many hours should I expect students to spend on a 2 credit course? How does using multiple tools (Facebook, LMS, blog, twitter) affect the sense of presence? Is it better to use fewer or more?
