Symposium Overview:

The Essence of Good Teaching: Face-to-Face and Online
Presented by: Professor John Regalbuto

As varied an activity as teaching can be, didactic, Socratic, clinical and classroom, face-to-face or online, can an "essence of good teaching" actually be distilled? This was an important question facing a 1998-1999 University of Illinois faculty seminar convened by then Vice President of Academic Affairs, Sylvia Manning, to study the pedagogy of online teaching and learning.

Professor Regalbuto will review the "timeless" findings of this faculty seminar and will apply them to current initiatives in blended learning and the U of I Global Campus.

The Evolution of Good Online Teaching Practices
Presented by: Clinical Assistant Professor Rosemary Walker

Best practices in e-learning are emerging. As in face-to-face education, each virtual classroom faces unique challenges. This presentation explores practical lessons learned in the delivery of online education from the perspective of a former student who is currently a faculty member at UIC.
