October 2005: Enhancing Teaching Through the Use of Instructional Technology
e-Teaching Symposium
Thank You For Attending e-Teaching Symposium:The Essence of Good Teaching: Face-to-Face and Online
Our third e-Teaching Symposium was held on Thursday, March 16, 2006. Professor John Regalbuto addressed The Essence of Good Teaching: Face-to-Face and Onlinewhich was followed by a presentation on The Evolution of Good Online Teaching Practices by Clinical Assistant Professor Rosemary Walker.
If you missed the presentation you may view the Web cast or download a copy of the presentations.
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.
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.
