I just completed EL 102 Teaching Online Learners. I found the course to be very informative and intersting. I am not sure I would like to be an online instructor. I have been an online student and I have new found respect for the Instructors.
I am a online teacher , and let tell you is a rewarding experience, it really is a little more difficult but is a matter of adapting, but this type of education allows us to reach people who never thought to study.
I have heard many students explain that it is very difficult to take an online course due to lack of self-motivation. The students have a hard time pacing themselves through the course without the accountability of attending a class. The information in EL 102 is helpful to structure a course, but there may be a little more that we need to explore to making a student successful in the course.
