E-Personality: The Fusion of IT and Pedagogical Technique - Peter Chepya, Educause Quarterly
E-Personality is a pedagogical technique designed to let an instructor’s skills and ability shine through when teaching online courses. When university course delivery first went online in the late 1990s, there was little guidance on how to do it, almost no thought given to teaching, and no consideration of the aesthetics of online pedagogy. A typical course contained instructions to read specific chapters from an assigned text each week, followed by a list of questions to answer. Since that time, Internet delivery has flashed across our computer monitors in a series of dynamic and innovative developments. One advance in online pedagogical technique is an online teaching technique called “e-Personality,” which I developed to support my own courses. The theory behind e-Personality, since proven in practice, was that whatever made a professor successful in the classroom could be “migrated” to Internet teaching.
