Online Degree

A Method of Teaching for the Online-Degree Generation

September 23, 2009 By Daniel Im

I recently saw a fascinating proposal by the Dean at Southern Methodist University, Jose A. Bowen. He proposes a different way of teaching that is radically different from the traditional way of: 1) Come to class; 2) Listen to the Lecture; 3) Discussion.

He proposes that you:

1) Podcast your lecture.
2) Have your students listen to the lecture before coming to class.
3) Have a quiz at the beginning of the class to ensure that they listened to the lecture
4) Have Discussion and important points, etc. for the majority of the class

This methodology, he believes, will promote on-site degrees, rather than online degrees because of the clear benefits of live participation.
