Welcome to the new blog for the PLS Online Course Development team. When you want to get the scoop on what’s happening with the online courses, this is the place to come. Because technology is integral to what we do, we’re also going to share what we’re seeing in the field for trends and research in technology. The rate of innovation in technology and online education is very fast-paced, and we know it can be overwhelming to keep up with it all. This blog can help you stay current without spending hours researching on your own.
We know that as educators you believe in lifelong learning; consider this an opportunity to learn about online education and technology. We don’t expect you to be passive learners and just sit back while we talk at you; you can be an active learner by commenting and participating in the blog.
To get started, check out the Guide for First Time Visitors to learn more about the blog and About Us to “meet” the online course development team.
In the month of November, we’re going to discuss three different issues related to technology and education:
- Interactivity
- Mobile Learning
- Games & Simulations
Pam Vreeland, Director of Online Instructional Design, will also post about upcoming online courses.
