Hi Everyone!
I am Gillian Andersen and I teach at ENMU-Portales. Although I have done face-to-face teaching, I have done a lot of online teaching in the last two years. I am hoping that we can have a continuing conversation about various approaches to teaching online. There is no question that online teaching has lots of challenges (but so do other methods of course delivery). I am anxious to meet more of you through this blog. If you have some cool ideas, bring 'em on!

Hello. I will be teaching on-line before I realize what happened, haha. I look forward to learning from those with the experience.

I love to teach online and it really upsets me when colleagues state that you cannot have quality teaching online.
Hi
I teach for Ruidoso and Portales. I think that often students are more communicative than in live classes.
Hi Folks,
I've been teaching history online for 2 years now and can use all the advice possible. Your thoughts on "lectures," please. I assign the best possible readings and try to link them and highlight important points through weekly discussions, but participation is mediocre and answers are often flat. I've tried to avoid lectures because the readings say it all better than I can, but... What do you think?
Linda, has good point. I lecture from my head, not my notes. So, I am concerned this could be a problem for me. I think an outline of lecture might be helpful, then plug readings into the various headings. I've found many of the new survey texts have excellent general questions, and have had some good luck in class with those. They might work for online, too. Any feedback?
I am teaching a hybrid course- 10 regular classroom sessions and the rest on web CT. It must be difficult to teach the entire course on-line.
Hi,
I am teaching a hybrid course, 10 traditional classes and the rest of the assignments are on the webCT. I think it must be very difficult to teach the entire class on-line
Wow! I have been out of it over Christmas Break, and I didn't check the site. It is great that so many of you have made comments.
This term I am teaching four courses online, and working on my doctoral degree as a distance student, too (so I know the deal from both ends).
I wonder what you think about the idea of offering tenure-track opportunities to professor who teach web-only courses?
I am teaching my first ITV course this semester (S08), and my most disconcerting aspect is the lack of blackboard. I am blackboard dependent it seems. How do I accommodate this part of my teaching in the ITV classroom?
I am not teaching online yet, however, I hope to be in the near future. I have been an online student and are very familiar with the students perspective of online learning. I look forward to the knowledge I will gain from each of you.
