Techniques to Help Take an Online Class to the Next Level | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Beth Dichter's insight:

This post is geared to courses being offered through iTunes U  but many of the ideas and tools may be helpful for any online class. The list includes:

* Describe clear learning outcomes

* Articulate an active learning pathway

* Incorporate diverse learning materials

* Make it interactive

* Leverage mobility and built-in tools

* Leave the classroom

* Start from scratch

* Apply the SAMR model to your class tasks

Although the apps provided are geared to the iPad the SAMR model provides ideas that you might use with other tablets or computers.
