TESOL CALL-IS on 28 Oct 12"I have found that many who dream of online learning somehow imagine a virtual school where the teachers are no more than those who load up the assignments and set up the learning management system. But by taking actual teaching out of the distance learning equation, we are dooming distance learning to mere correspondence course status." An interesting blog post on the need for teacher-student interactions in the world of online learning. But I would hasten to add that it doesn't have to be f2f or blended -- it could be in a video conferenced setting as well.
