Instructor: Dr. Larry Tentinger

Semester Completed: Fall 2002

Goals/Objectives accomplished:

During this course we were introduced to the different teaching and learning theories and focused on how to adapt our lessons to be more learner-centered with the use of technology.  By doing this I believe that I developed the ability to use computers and related technologies in my instruction and at the same time the capability to teach students to use computers and related technologies in both the traditional and distant classroom.  It was during this class that I became familiar with the technology-based educational tool of WebCT.  It was also at this time that I became aware of the current trend in distance education, that led to my final paper found below.
