Centralize online teaching programs - Minnesota Daily
The University utilizes various electronic mediums for teaching, including Webvista, Moodle and most recently, iTunesU . The latest application allows professors to post podcasts and other supplemental learning material and is the electronic medium that permits student- and professor-generated audio content. Its launching signals a step in the right direction for online learning, but it also underscores one of the chief problems with the University’s online teaching resources: a lack of centralization and thus usability. As the University emerges into a more technologically equipped institution, different departments are piloting new programs to cut costs and to enhance their course material. Online accesses to course readings provide students with a more economical alternative than spending hundreds on course packets at the bookstore. This is no doubt encouraging.
