In the following slides, I am going to show how I will conduct my On-Line physics teaching and how I compare my On-Line physics teaching with my In-Class physics teaching

really similar?

3. Why Physics Courses Are Seldom Offered Online
Doubts that
Uncertainty about Difficulty moving Doubts that off-
students can
how to offer a outside the box of campus lab work
independently
valid lab the campus can be as effective
perform lab work
component with laboratory as formal
in nontraditional
online courses experience laboratory work
places

4. Why Now Is the Time for Online Physics Course
Substantial declines in the
cost of computer
technology and
Increasing corresponding increases
time, costs, and in computer ownership The continuing rise in
inconvenience computer literacy
associated with among the general
commuting to a college population
campus
Dramatic declines in
states’ and institutions’
financial recourses to The coming of age of
stock, staff, and highly computer-
maintain undergraduate savvy generations
laboratory facilities
Continuous
improvements in the
quality, features, and Improvement in and
user-friendliness of online global dissemination of
learning-management access to high-speed
systems for both broad band technology
instructors and students

5. In the following slides, I am going
to show how I will conduct my
On-Line physics teaching and
how I compare my On-Line
physics teaching with my In-Class
physics teaching.

31. My Future Outlook For an Online
Physics Course
These online courses are only the beginning in
an increasingly technological world. Perhaps
one day publishing companies can design a
physics textbook that has many digital tools
such as animations and summaries that can be
downloaded onto an MP3 player, iPod, and
iPhone audio or video device. The
opportunities are vast and endless.
