Planning your eLearning course is the most important step.

Some teachers feel threatened by these changes, while others embrace the new technologies right in their own classrooms. Many teachers now encourage their students to supplement their classroom experience with online resources. A rapidly increasing fraction of high school teachers are even letting students use their own mobile devices as powerful research tools right in the classroom. Hundreds of millions of views confirm that kids can and will voluntarily visit sites such as Khan Academy when they provide learning opportunities that the students missed, for whatever reason, in their previous classroom experience. I will leave you with one last thought: Just imagine the potential when the intelligence, creativity, empathy, and passion of teachers are combined with the power of e-learning technologies. The results will undoubtedly be synergistic, and will take learning to a whole new level that most of us can hardly even imagine. What are the possible ways that teachers may collaborate with the droids in the future? We should seek out the visionaries who can imagine this. They will pave the way to a bright future

eLearning 101 Part 3: Development Roles This section includes the roles and responsibilities that are included during the development process. Some roles are mandatory during any course development process, while other roles may be optional depending on the needs of the course. All roles should be identified and assigned at the beginning of the project. Every person involved in the project should be notified at the beginning of the project of his or her role. Note: one person may have multiple roles. It is a good standard of practice to form a committee to identify the roles and expectations of each team member and to have each person accept their role in writing to ensure they understand the requirements of the position.

Would you like to captivate the audience through eloquent delivery and beautiful design? Would you like to push the limits of technology? Would you like to transform your Webinar design and delivery? Of course you want and that requires ACTION!

In the top 10 of most popular social media sites, Pinterest is in itself a tool to teach as well as a tool to find teaching ideas, lesson plans, and just about anything on any topic you might have.
