Introduction to Course Production
Now that you've
taken a good hard look at your course design
and development needs. and decided
the best way to present the material, the next step is to move on
to the "nuts and bolts" of the process and work on the production
of your course. In this module we'll be looking at the different ways
to use the Internet to deliver your course material to students and
how best to interact with those students and create a "classroom
environment" in a virtual reality setting.
The
module is divided into the following sections:
-
Faculty
Support Production Team: This section on course production
by introducing the types of people who may be involved in producing
components for your course. The
