"COLLABORATIVE ONLINE LEARNING: FACILITATING VIRTUAL GROUP PROCESS"
October 16, 2007

Session Description: Successful courses result in learners who are satisfied with their experience, take away new learning, meet course objectives, and would take the course again.  Successful online courses tend to be collaboration-based, with active dialogue among all participants and the instructor.  This session is intended to assist faculty in developing a heightened awareness of the differences between online and face-to-face groups and specific areas of attention for course design and facilitation. (Choose the special Pre-Conference option when you register for OTL and participate in this and two other workshops.)

Here are a few comments from participants in online events produced by LearningTimes:

"My brain is happy!"
"In the last few days online I met more people and gained more practical knowledge than at any face-to-face event I have attended in the last few years. And at a fraction of the cost."

"Astounding!"
"This was not your typical 'conference by bulletpoint'. The presenters facilitated amazing discussions full of resources I started to use on the spot."
