Tips for Teaching at a Distance

Educational Development Associates, LLC (EDA) was established in 1971 by Thomas E. Cyrs, Ed.D. with the mission of providing training in all aspects of course design and teaching for performance- and competency-based training and education. Over the past 12 years, EDA has specialized in training instructors to design new quality telecourses and reconfiguring existing traditional courses for delivery in a distance learning environment via all of the major technologies, including interactive television, videotape, audioconferencing, print, and, most recently, WWW, Internet, and combinations of individual technologies. Teaching and training at a distance is not the same as traditional teaching. There are many instructional, curricular, experiential, and management issues that are different and require some additional training to master.

Skills for quality teaching in the traditional classroom are also offered. Exciting and effective podium lecture skills are still very important. These skills acquired in the context of the traditional live classroom transfer to quality lectures on interactive television.
