Online Instructor Training

"The principal goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of

repeating what other generations have done.” Jean Piaget

Trends among universities are to expand online learning (online courses) due to economics and convenience.

“Online learning has definite advantages over Face-to-Face

Instruction when it comes to teaching and learning”

(U.S Department of Education June 29th , 2009)

Closing Remarks

“People who go online tend to be

better paid and better educated than those who do not. They are also more likely to consider belonging to a learning community, group or voluntary organization”

“Certainly, the future of technology is difficult to see clearly today, but it will, nevertheless, be one of the greatest revolutions for mankind”

New Scientist, 2001, p. 25
