tto provide an online teacher
training experience through online CALL that parallels
the experience that the students have in the
face-to-face course
ØMy premise:
Whatever I and the students do/did in the face-to-face course, should also
happen in the online course. I have to find ways to make this possible.
t
tto find ways to create the
same kind of effective, involved, enthusiastic learning community that existed in my
face-to-face classes
t
tTo model the course goal—effectively incorporating
technology into the classroom—by providing hands-on,
task- and project-based experiences, that
follow a constructivist,
inquiry-based approach
ØConstruction
of learning and teaching principles by the group rather than receiving
information through lectures
ØThe teacher as facilitator, not the “sage of the
stage”
ØAutonomous Learners taking responsibility for their own
learning
