Hello Developers,

Just a reminder that the 75% completion date is on Monday. If you have concerns about meeting this deadline please contact me ASAP. Additionally, please be sure to look over your online course development users guide to make sure that you didn't miss anything in the course of your developments.

In this months edition of Online Classroom there is an article that discusses how to develop interaction activities for distance education. Students often have a tendency to feel isolated and alone in online classrooms. As a course developer it is important that you develop the course in such a way to foster a sense of community in the classroom. There are a number of interactions that need to take place in order for a sense of community to be present:

  • instructor to learner
  • learner to instructor
  • learner to learner
  • learner to content
  • learner to medium
  • learner to context
This article will discuss how to incorporate all of these types of interactions throughout your development. To check out this months edition of Online Classroom follow the instructions below:
