Quality Online Course

Distance or online education programs must develop and maintain quality educational options to successfully compete with conventional academic offerings; institutions cannot maintain a competitive edge solely from innovation of the online delivery format. The quality of online programs lies at the heart of the effort to attract more learners to online learning and to provide them with comparable—if not better—education quality than they can get by attending classes on campus. A quality educational program begins with the development of quality courses.

Podcasts and Webinars

I found success this semester with assigning a podcast or webinar to participate in, and then we have a discussion in class about the topic. Additionally, I have asked students to find current events related to our topic and introduce their story in class. I found that the transition from outside (class) to inside was well received and enthusiactically supported. I remind them that they are learning the skill of talking about our dynamic industry and using terms they will use when they engage colleagues or potential employers. The presentation helps to facilitate the aformentioned future experiences. I would be happy to hear of other variances of this type of process. If it helps, I teach Digital Investigations / Computer Forensics courses.
