Welcome to the course "internet pedagogy" to be offered Tuesday evenings beginning in September at the University of Manitoba. The focus of the course is implied in the title: the noun is pedagogy. "Internet" is the adjective describing the kind of pedagogy. That means that the fulcrum for the course is in fact teaching, learning, and curriculum... as these concepts exist via the internet. This course will explore the ways that the internet can enhance pedagogy.
The course is not a technical course. Participants will not produce websites or learn html or need to become familiar with Dreamweaver or any such programs. The technology for this course is either no cost, or low cost, The technologies are easy to use, or,as one likes to say "user friendly". This is not a course for computer scientists or high tech gurus. It is a course for teachers.
There are many ways that the internet can be integrated into everyday teaching and learning. Social and cultural dimensions also provide a critical starting point for this analysis of internet pedagogy.
Watch here for more details!
