Abstract

Teachers inexperienced in the delivery of online instruction may now be expected to teach subjects with a limited understanding of how tools in a Learning Management System can be appropriately and sucessfully utilised to enable the learning strategies of the subject design. How best dow we develop teaching practice to facilitate the increasing use of asynchronous discussion tools in flexible and distance courses?
