Online Teaching: How Hard Can It Be? - Jean Kiekel, techLearning
As online course offerings grow, the allure of teaching online also grows in appeal. There are many reasons for this: It can be done from anywhere in the world, you don’t need a special wardrobe; you don’t even need to bathe or get out of your pajamas to do it. Teaching is teaching, regardless of the delivery format. Yes, the fundamentals of teaching are the same as traditional teaching, but that is where the similarities end.

This paper looks at the available research and explores why online teaching is really quite different from traditional teaching.
