"What's
it like teaching online?"
"My
approach to the business from the beginning has been that the
computer technology gives us a set of tools we can use to
redesign the learning environment and break out of some of the
old molds."

On
small group work:
"I
believe that small group work is not only necessary for the
students to grow as learners...it can be done very well in an
online environment."

"How
does teaching online compare to teaching face-to-face in terms of
the time commitment?"
"It
is really important to monitor seven days a week what's going
on."
|
"What
do you think about the future of online education?"
"What's
going to happen, I think, is the teaching/learning process is
going to be mediated by a richer variety of media than just the
teacher standing in front of the room."
