The presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, February 19 from 11:15 to 12:00.
Walton and Bailey will use ITC Learning’s newly designed iKNOW on-line courseware as illustrations for their premise that today online learning is more effective as a “radio medium” than it is as either a “page-turner” or “television” medium.
The presentation will demonstrate criteria for improving the quality and performance of online learning. It will address concerns of individuals who: • are currently dissatisfied with online learning • find online education and training development time-intensive and costly • have experienced online software performing inefficiently and ineffectively • have found online lessons lacking in explicit, sound pedagogical design principles • currently rate the overall quality of online learning negatively as “fair” to “poor
