Description
Summary:Broad use of the Internet for conducting instruction has recently become popular in academia. Before the last decade, most colleges conducting distance education used face-to-face sessions, live satellite or closed circuit television. Consequently, not much research has been published about the impacts and effects of online courses and the pioneering approaches of web-based pedagogy. Here, Falvo and Solloway explore the experience of university students and their professors in their quest to create community in an online course about integrating technological applications into the K-12 classroom.
