Community college dean adds human touch to distance learning - Steve Kolowich, Inside Higher Ed
Douglas E. Hersh says the human-touch problem can be solved. In fact, he thinks he knows how. Hersh's solution is to incorporate more video and audio components into the course-delivery mechanism. Most professors who teach online already incorporate short video and audio clips into their courses, according to a 2009 survey by the Campus Computing Project. But it is rarer, Hersh says, for professors to use video of themselves to teach or interact with their online students — largely because the purveyors of major learning management systems do not orient their platforms to feature that method of delivery.
