e-learning setting.
HOW TO
"ATTEND":
This course
addresses facilitating in synchronous and asynchronous learning situations
that are delivered over the World Wide Web.
The course is intended to be taken in modules or units.
An outline for the course follows. The time identified after each unit title is for the running
time for the recorded materials. Several
times during each module you are asked to pause the recorded program to
complete an activity or complete an assignment before viewing the next
part of the recording. The
actual time to complete a module can vary from 30 to 60 minutes.
There
are two types of materials for this course: these written handout materials and
the videotaped session that shows the trainers and PowerPoint visuals as you

There
is also a rich resource section that includes a bibliography and web links for
further study of this topic.
