Definetely spend a lot of cpncentration in the area to have a trainer dedicated to the institution for just this purpose and not someone in IT who already has a job and cannot attend to a full time job training assignment to everone and being available for one on one consultation.

I agree you must have a back up plan, when you're ready to start the lecture and you loose all of your A/V electronic communcation it quite inconvient to both the instructor and students because of the time spent shifting gears and grabbing text books and notes.

Yes there will be more work with having to divide on line w/ brick and mortar at first but I feel it may make teaching easier with students that lear better on line.

I had the opportunity to use CANVAS LMS. It was a little cumbersome integrating all of the facets but eventully they all came together. It's a great vehicle that will take me from the stone age to the space age and a whole new way of communicating knowledge to my students.

Been on this Rodeo several times, it take a lot of patience and charity to keep from being frustrated with the system as well as co-faculty members or co-workers that are frustrated like you. It takes time but eventully everyone buys in and it works itself out and makes our jobs so much easier and stremlined,

Excellant course

I think that rationale give students a perspective of why they are learning what they are learning before they even learn it. In a way it gives the students a system of containers of how they are going to organize what they learn from you lecture. Lesson plans are also very important as they give me a sort of canvas in which to paint on in a manner of speaking so that the next time I have to draw a picture I can improve on what I already drew.

Compression factor can be a problem with inexperiencec instructors but I found that the more I knew about the subject I taught the les and les time I found that I had to finish in the alotted classroom, theory time. Go figure.
