Description
Summary:The article presents a comparison of online and on ground instructional techniques focusing on the differences between face-to-face and computer-mediated communication. Lessons are drawn from the authors, who collectively teach online courses at Nova Southeastern University as well as the United States Sports Academy, Baker College, the University of Central Florida, and the University of Hawaii. The initial phases of course development, student feedback, and peer review began the authors' transition into their current regular practice as virtual professors at graduate and undergraduate schools, while they continued to teach in traditional classrooms in their respective institutions.
