Presentation Transcript

  1. Distance education is no longer the great evil. Many DE techniques and strategies are used in more traditional learning environments. In fact, it is often said that the distance between a lecturer and a student is greater than the distance between teachers and students in DE environments. This is difficult to pull off as a teacher, and even more difficult from the administrative side. There are competing forces at work. Still, we're all on the same time, aren't we?"

  2. Mark Walbert Pete Sands Judi Kirkpatrick Susan Lang Joel English Trish Harris Cynthia Jeney “If one is going to go down this path then one must devote the proper resources to creating a quality learning experience for those ‘on-line’ students. That means the University must support the best teachers in their learning to teach well over the Web.” Distance Learning: It's Not a Question of If but of How

  3. Mark Walbert Pete Sands Judi Kirkpatrick Susan Lang Joel English Trish Harris Cynthia Jeney “If the Web appears to be pushing both students and teachers simultaneously into a shared, public, published space, then we can say that such a push rotates their relationship from a traditionally vertical to a new horizontal axis.” Hybridity as an Ethical Choice

  4. Mark Walbert Pete Sands Judi Kirkpatrick Susan Lang Joel English Trish Harris Cynthia Jeney “The very best teachers are best equipped to take the new tools of the technological and information revolution and harness them for best possible use, developing models for good practice. The more teachers become practiced users themselves, the more their teaching will be transformed.” Distance education is no longer the great evil.

  5. Mark Walbert Pete Sands Judi Kirkpatrick Susan Lang Joel English Trish Harris Cynthia Jeney “No longer will the same individual be responsible for teaching a particular group of students and responding to their documents. Instead, the evaluation of student documents will be shared by a number of individuals.” Distance Education at Texas Tech University: Getting Started and Getting Established

  6. “Make no mistake: the university is a business, and distance ed is believed to be a fat cow out of whose teats squirt cash.” Mark Walbert Pete Sands Judi Kirkpatrick Susan Lang Joel English Trish Harris Cynthia Jeney Distance Education and the Writing Classroom: Shall We Enter the Game?

  7. Mark Walbert Pete Sands Judi Kirkpatrick Susan Lang Joel English Trish Harris Cynthia Jeney “Corporations and educators are not on opposite sides of the court. We urge each other toward improvements we might not have otherwise considered. The administration's infatuation with the bottom line, and the corporate world's desire for market share, will achieve balance as teachers continue to resist homogeneity and risk what seems like everything to help learners understand, think, and write.” Profit and Pedagogy: Addressing the Challenges and Achieving Balance

  8. Mark Walbert Pete Sands Judi Kirkpatrick Susan Lang Joel English Trish Harris Cynthia Jeney “I’ll just admit it. I want to ride ponies. I want to rattle the chains. I dig the thrill of discussion and mind-play, the action and reaction of ideas bouncing off walls, and the bio-mass of brains in bodies that can make it all electric and make it all come apart and then pull together. I especially want my students to learn how to make all that happen on their own, or in a bunch, or on the job, or in Acapulco, or wherever.” If the Apocalypse comes...Email Me" ...OR... "All I need to know about online Distance Ed, I learned from Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
