On-line learing was one of the main reasons I took this class. The wide variety of content and curriculum out there is amazing. It is also disappointing to see how much crap is out there as well. I suppose that it is just like everything else on the internet - some good, a lot of bad.
The amount of time needed to develop high quality materials to be used in on-line courses seems to more than I have available to me. It will be a challenge to come up with something that I can teach on-line and make it interesting enough to attract students.
I think the primary reason our district wants to develop on-line courses was to keep our kids from going elsewhere and to attract kids from other districts to take classes from us so we can keep and get more money.

Glad you could see what is involved. I am afraid our administrators are generally uninformed about online. They think if you have taught a class f2f, what would be the problem putting it online? Seeing the purchased curriculum really shows the amoung of time and money put into developing really interactive curriculum.
