[Air-l] Technology Transforming Education--EE-Learning

[andrea baker]

Hello--
Steve E and Marj, thanks for initiating and  propelling this 
discussion forward.
Great comments, Charles, Steve J, and Nancy, I like your points and questions.

Having taught online for a while, and this quarter teaching the same 
course both online and offline, the topic has me thinking more about 
the learning processes.   Each group learns in different ways, of 
course, and perhaps even learns different content to a degree, in the 
sense of what will stick with them in the long run.  Hmmm.

I know one thing and that is, Marj, I'd really like to learn koala 
arm-wrestling from you. :-)  You have a handle on all the reasons why 
I (and most students) would prefer to do that in person.  I'd even 
settle for a few lessons by phone or video.  With a topic of such 
interest, and an extremely motivated learner, perhaps any one of 
several modes would do.

And the beat goes on...
cheers,
andee
