Teaching Online

During the Fall 2005 semester, 72% of all DWU full-time faculty had placed course materials on TigerNet, and two-thirds of all conventional, lecture style courses (excluding performance-based courses, labs, student teaching, independent study, etc.) had some form of TigerNet presence. These numbers are likely to grow as TigerNet becomes more and more a part of the university culture.

This section of the Instructional Technology web site is dedicated to helping DWU faculty teach and students learn effectively in an online environment.

How to Teach Online
These pages are about online pedagogy - topics such as how to use the Internet to promote learning at the higher levels of the cognitive domain, managing online discussions, student assessment, and other topics of special interest to faculty who want to use web-based activities to promote higher order learning and critical thinking.

TigerNet Guides for Faculty
Here, faculty will find detailed, illustrated instructions for getting set up in TigerNet and using its course management system tools. Because these guides incorporate screen shots of proprietary software, access is limited to the DWU domain.

TigerNet Guides for Students
These are corresponding guides to help students get set up in TigerNet and use course management system tools. Access to these pages also is restricted to the DWU domain.

TigerNet FAQs for Faculty
Questions. We receive questions about TigerNet, lots of them. This page provides answers to some of the Frequently Asked Questions that come our way.

Support for Faculty in Creating Learning Materials
How does a faculty member scan a document for use in a TigerNet course? Narrate a PowerPoint presentation and reduce the file size? Scan a 35mm slide? Capture an image from a screen or scanned document and annotate it for student use? And where do you get assistance in doing these things?
