Workshop description
The
e-Learning Atheist says "You can't teach that class online
- it won't work!" The e-Learning Zealot says "Maybe YOU
can't teach it online, but I can!" The Atheist says "You're
just trying to replace classroom faculty with computers!"
The Zealot says "If you CAN be replaced by a computer, you
should be!" And so on, and so on, and so on.
We'll
dissect some of the differing points of view from both the e-Learning
Atheist and the e-Learning Zealot. To do so, we'll take a stroll through
the e-Learning alphabet; where E is for Entertainment, G is for Generations, M
is for Myth, P is for Postman, and Q is for ... well, for the lack
of a better word, Q is for Quality.
Mr. Dahl is an independent
contractor and consultant with a focus on e-Learning and educational
technology. For 17 years, he served as an accounting faculty member
with appointments at ASU, Florida Atlantic University, U. of Minnesota
Duluth, and Lake Superior College (LSC) in Duluth, MN. In 2001, he resigned
his faculty tenure to become the senior administrator in charge of online
learning at LSC. As Chief Technology Officer of the college, he had
primary responsibility for the Computer Services department, Web and
Information Services, and the e-Campus known as Lake Superior Connect.

CAFDN is a non-profit consortium of colleges and universities dedicated
to promoting the improvement of college teaching by providing a convenient
and affordable way for professionals to exchange information and best
practices in the field.
CAFDN has been in existence since 1996. Our membership includes faculty
development professionals from all types of schools throughout our area,
covering the full range from community colleges to research universities.
We have found it most helpful to learn from each other not just despite,
but also because of, the differences of our institutions. The diverse
requirements of our home campuses have allowed us to look at issues
from new perspectives and develop a profound sense of collegiality.
Over the years we have debated every important topic that faculty and
institutions of higher learning are facing: From effective grading practices
to interdisciplinary teaching, from active learning to the role of part-time
instructors, and from faculty evaluation to learning communities.
