Chapter 2: Classifying Distance Ed courses?
In reading through the online teaching sections I was intrigued by the classifications of low-tech, mid-tech, and high-tech. I wonder if any institution is purely one of the other. Between the students, teaching staff, and technology group you may find yourself in three different places. In my case we are a high-tech institution with low-tech teachers and a mid-tech student body.There are a lot of arguments as to how this can happen. Most people blame it on the teachers. The general consensus is that older teachers are technophobes unwilling to try new technologies. I'll attach link to a an article discussing this point of view. It comes from the Edtechnot.com website which tends to be the dissenting voice in terms of every educational policy unleashed on the world.
