[Idag] IDAG - Professional Development Question

Thu Mar 13 07:44:45 EST 2008

I am in the midst, and am almost done, creating an on-line training workshop
that will last about 8-10 weeks.  It's intense training, but the results of
my f2f version were good.  Our faculty have asked for it to be online..... I
agree they should experience what it's like to be an online student before
they go online themselves.
I'm happy to share my course, which is in Blackboard...... it's not done
yet, but almost.
