Pedagogy for distance learning continues this fall as previous panelists
return to host these popular faculty development seminars. Join moderator
Peter Shea, Ph.D., co-author of the books “The Successful Distance Learning
Student”, “Learning Together Online”, and “Learner Centered Theory and
Practice in Distance Education," September 29 as he delves deeper into the
pedagogical influences behind enhancing interaction in online courses. Peter
is joined by colleagues and fellow panelists, Rena Palloff, Ph.D., Keith
Pratt, Ph.D. co-authors of “Building Learning Communities in Cyberspace:
Effective Strategies for the Online Classroom”, “The Virtual Student" and
“Collaborating Online: Learning Together in Community”, and Nada Dabbagh,
Ph.D., co-author of “Online Learning: Concepts, Strategies, and Application.”
The panel will discuss how pedagogical values and best practices are key to improved interaction and thriving engagement in
e-learning environments. You will hear perspectives and practical considerations for building a stronger online community and
learn strategies to guide students and shape their ideas and discussion into a more positive online climate--one that reflects
respect and openness while encouraging participation, collaboration and communication. The goals of the seminar are to provide
a better sense of good pedagogy, to help you recognize online cues and enhance
interaction while creating a more positive learning environment for both the student and you, the faculty.
