More Resources for Online Teaching and Learning

Online learning and teaching has gone through a rapid and ongoing metamorphosis since the first computer assisted class was taught at Michigan State University in 1992 (a long time in the chronology of the online environment). The term 'collaborative learning', a current buzz word in online learning, may have first been used in a paper titled Collaborative Learning Through Computer Conferencing [ Wikipedia ]. In just 16 years (since that first course in a physics class taught at Michigan State and in particular during the last 8 years), there has been an wealth of research (not all of it useful) in the field.

An aside . . .

I'm also interested in creative writing with specific attention to response to those readings. A case in point is the posting below "On Sandra Cisneros's 'My Name' ". She inherited her great-grandmother's name, Esperanza. it's a wonderful little short story that I encourage all to read.
