About THE Distance Learning Workshop

Do you want to improve the quality of your distance learning/training courses so that you and your institution can become more competitive? If the answer is yes, this workshop is for you. Planning for quality courses at a distance does not just happen. It takes organization, experience, and know-how. Participants will be involved in many activities and discussion groups that will enhance their skills in these areas.

We put teachers before technology
Become an acknowledged leader in distance learning on your campus
Develop confidence as a teacher in a new electronic environment
Improve learning outcomes by communicating visually
Network with people sharing similar interests
Explore the advantage of hybrid/blended courses

Experience has shown that traditional courses cannot be transported to any of the delivery technologies without modification in a number of critical areas. The primary focus of this workshop is to explore the core instructional skills needed to design or modify courses for delivery via the World Wide Web and videoconferencing, live and videotaped. You will work with pedagogical concepts, not equipment that quickly becomes obsolete.
