  2. What!! Me Teach an Online Course in Adapted Physical Education?? Sherry L Folsom-Meek Minnesota State University, Mankato

  3. What is the world coming to??

  4. I like my classroom

  5. But I also like my computer

  6. What are online classes? • 2 major types: • Web-based • Web-enhanced • What delivery programs are available? Usually institutional decision: Desire to Learn, Ucompass Educator, Blackboard, Web CT, etc. There is also freeware available.

  7. Why online delivery? • Can reach a broader audience • Asynchronous classes pose few or no scheduling problems • We faculty need to “get with it;” the students are already there!! • Oftentimes instructor is more organized • Many students enjoy online learning

  8. Why online delivery? (cont.) • We can move toward “paperless” direction • University initiatives for online courses are present in many institutions of higher education • Course instructor has record of exact time students submitted assignments; can close dropboxes after a certain date • All materials given to students are the same (versus students missing classes and probably not getting what was covered)

  9. Why online delivery? (cont.) • Usually there is good technological support • Can attract students from who live long distances from campus and couldn’t otherwise take courses

  10. Disadvantages of online classes • Computer or other equipment malfunctioning • Sometimes cyber space delivers files in gibberish • Some students are not responsible enough to handle online classes • Don’t know your students like those you have in the classroom three times a week

  11. Disadvantages of online classes (cont.) • There is a lot of upfront work for instructor (also an advantage) • Hard on the eyes especially when using small laptop

  12. Can all APE courses in a program be taught online? • All APE courses can be Web-enhanced • Courses with hands-on components requiring instructor supervision cannot be taught online (in our curriculum we can’t do adapted aquatics, adapted sport, motor development, or assessment online)

  13. How do I get started? • Take classes given by your institution • Plunge right in--there is no correct time--we who teach online were hesitant before we started teaching a course in this mode • Get assistance when you need it • Start preparing your course materials. It does take a lot of upfront work.

  14. Creating a sense of community in online classes • Have student upload a digital photo of themselves and make a class “yearbook” • Use threaded discussions and chats often so that students interact with each other • Introduce selves • Play introductory games so they get to know each other • Have some assignments in which students give each other feedback

  15. Would you please give me advice? • Change the format of your course(s) you will be teaching online. Do one course at a time. • Divide your course into modules. • Decide on delivery modes: PowerPoint® lecture, podcasts, video streams, threaded discussions, reading materials, etc. • Within each module, prepare your materials. • Put syllabus in Word and PDF formats. Give a quiz on the syllabus.
