Models of technology integration

  • 100% long distance online (students physically separated from instructor and perhaps each other) includes web elements, videoconferencing and audioconferencing.
    • Challenges: Time differences (especially when students from more than 2 countries), student support (i.e., registration)
  • Hybrid Course (more and more...best of classroom teaching and online activities...scheduling can vary as to percentage of time they spend in the classroom)
    • Can be used to save classroom space
    • Tim teaches Business Chinese this way...meet 2 hrs in classroom and 1 hr for online activities.
  • Local web-supported course
    • include online video, sound, drills in face to face classroom instruction.
