What's the best way to close the race and gender gap in technology? This article proposes that high school is the place to start.

A series of 15 slides that concisely delineate assessment strategies for online courses.

This is a special report that features 12 articles from "Online Classroom" that offers some insight into how to assess online learning at the course, program, and institutional levels.

The article discusses the online virtual library, Pop Culture Universe: Icons, Idols, Ideas that provides unique historical perspective of culture and events over the last century in the U.S. As stated, high school students, teachers, and school librarians can access content which is taken from over 400 print reference titles published by the Greenwood Publishing Group. Reportedly, the content presents a comprehensive look at American entertainment through movies, TV shows, music, and awards.

faculty development specialists must pay close attention to the aspects of course development that are critical to the success of student learners. The likelihood of success is greatly increased when instructional design is integrated with the course's delivery tool. At ISU such integration is facilitated through the use ofWebCT, the course management system (CMS) supported by the university. Does Emory have such a tool?

Because the early planning stages of online instruction are crucial, Diane Chapman and Todd Nicolet propose a 'project approach' to course Development: a formal, team-based operation that makes use of consistent standards, trackable processes, standardized tools, and structured communication to facilitate technology initiatives of all sizes. This appears to facilitate scaling and the design and development of online instruction while maintaining the quality and integrity of the courses. Course design and development become more manageable when they are translated into repeatable processes and easy-to-apply tools.

Article by Karen Thickstun in American Music Teacher from Aug/Sept 2014, Vol.6, Issue 1. The article explores the various alternatives in teaching music with the emergence of modern technology in the U.S. It states that online teaching needs a little change from the procedures in a traditional studio. It highlights the significance of the modern technology in teaching as it improved the methods of teaching while reaching new and diverse students.

This article is very important for those envisioning turning a traditional face-to-face class into an online class. It explains how traditionally instructors have understood content, Pedagogical, and technological content as separate entities but this article provides a way to see them as interactive components of a learning system.

Here is an recent interesting resource for anyone including music history or historical facts about music or musicians in their class lectures or research: James Briscoe, Vitalizing Music History Teaching (HIllsdale, NY: Pendragon Press, 2010). This is a series of collected essays about specific issues in teaching music history in the 21st century. Although certainly not focused solely on teaching online, it certainly presents a variety of principles, problems, and proposals that current teachers are facing in the music history classroom and I found it very helpful.

This video lists several of the benefits of online teaching such as flexibility of delivery, the richness of the experience, the ability to communicate cross-disciplines, the ability to engage a more diverse group of learners and defines the learner space as one having both the physio and the virtual components, which is often used to describe the blended experience. The video probes this issue with the question, "How do we get the blend right?" One of the most important points, I feel, was the statement that faculty development was of utmost importance - that faculty need to be trained to understand the online environment.
