Please help!
My dean announced in a meeting on Monday that our VP is wanting us to develop
courses for the Internet. Now, I perfectly understand the concept of putting
the syllabus and the assignments on the web, but HOW do you explain concepts
on the printed screen? I may be old fashioned (yes, I wash my clothes on a
scrub board), but I still believe that an audible explanation is worth a
million written words. Do the students have any sort of access to video
lectures? How do you write out explanations to topics such as factoring
trinomials? How is it any different from giving the students a book and a
syallbus and an assignment sheet and saying "Go home, read, and mail your
tests to me"? I guess I am a bit skeptical, Huh? I would be most
appreciative of what y'all are doing out there in webland. Lee Ann Spahr
