Good point. Students who are online want a little more than just a book.
Do the instructor and computer programer have to work together? I would say not necessarily.
Should they work together, yes! The programmer should work with the instructor to ensure the course application is productive for the students and meets the needs of the course.
There is no need for programming background to teach an online course.
I have found having computer programming background that it does make it easier for me to understand a lot of the online process.
Cindy,
It does make it easier. Do you feel it is a must for instructors to have?
