Hello Here is a scenario for the January 28 discussion.  You are a teacher (of whatever specialty and level) hired by an x school district (you choose the location) to create on line courses.  Based on the articles intertwined with personal experiences you might have as a teacher "what factors  would you consider in order to build these courses?"

Any questions? Smyrniou@FIU.edu

Please feel free to bring any other materials you may find pertinent to the discussion subject and you would like us to know about

There is only one rule:  The students will be doing the discussion and there will be very little intervention from the moderator.
