Developers of online courses do not have to be technological wizards. Do you agree or disagree? Explain your answer.
I agree--they don't have to be wizards. For the most part, many onine modalities today are relatively easy to use and to develop courses with.
I agree that developers of online courses do not have to be technological wizards. I do believe, however, that they need to make efforts to continually increase their knowledge in order to fill many of the skill-gaps that we may find in the role of course developers. It is really important for online course developers to be able to navigate the process adequately so that they are able to evaluate courses and implement changes that may become necessary. The target is always moving, so the more knowledge that the course developer has the more effectively he or she can adapt to the changing dynamics.
