Designing Effective Web-Based Pedagogical Strategies

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Designing Effective Web-Based Pedagogical Strategies (ID: EDU01111)
Author(s):Shirley Waterhouse (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2001)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Too often, technology is implemented just for the sake of technology, not necessarily to promote pedagogical effectiveness. Designers of Web-based instruction must focus on important Web-based pedagogical strategies that enhance teaching and learning; and technology should be utilized as the enabling factor, not the primary factor in promoting positive changes in teaching and learning environments. This session will explore numerous Web-based pedagogical strategies that are effective for both classroom-based learning as well as distance learning.
