Some selected swings of education’s crisis pendulum …
• Home study and correspondence courses– 1920s – ‘30s
• T.V. and distance learning– 1950s and ‘60s
• MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses)– as we speak

What are some potential problems?
Long Range Planning Process
• Know your subject area;
• Select your learning targets;
• Develop your assessments;
• Develop your instructional activities;
• Evaluate the quality and equity of the process.

Opportunities in the MIT program?
“Whether massive open courses live up to their hype or not, they will force college administrators and professors to reconsider many of their assumptions about the form and meaning of teaching. For better or worse, the Netʼs disruptive forces have arrived at the gates of academia.” - Nicholas Carr

A few tools
• Canvas• Collaborate• Screencasts• Narration in Power Point and QuickTime
In the afternoon we will have time to work on trying out a tool or two in the context of one of your MIT sessions.
We will conclude with a discussion and consideration of next steps.
