E-pedagogy: What Students Want

Abstract

This study focused on a review of the literature concerning effective online practices and describes a professor’s attempts to incorporate the practices while developing an online statistics course. Becoming a successful online instructor requires more than simply converting traditional lecture notes into an online session. While a text-based lesson is appropriate for some learners the current members of Generation V (You-Tube and video enthusiasts) require instructors to seek new ways to engage the student. This presentation discusses some inexpensive means to incorporate best practices into the development of an online course.
