Discussion Questions Part One (please answer using the comment mode)
In this first week, we are to read the background material about how the Internet functions so that we all have a shared understanding of the basics of the technology. And, we are post an introduction of ourselves and the way in which we use the Internet in this discussion forum.
- So, here's my introduction:
I am Ray (not Dr.; not Professor, please). I enjoy my work, also bicycling along country roads in rural Illinois.
I began teaching at the University of Illinois in Urbana in 1971. I came to the Springfield campus in 1977 as an assistant professor. In 1984 I founded the Television Office which I directed until 1997. At that time I took on the challenge to initiate online learning at UIS - and founded the Office of Technology-Enhanced Learning. I continue my work at OTEL and teaching online.
I publish three blogs daily.
Online Learning Update
Techno-News Blog
Educational Technology
I also publish a photo blog.
Reflections
I use the Internet dialy: for teaching, for researching, for publishing, and for communicating. Our OTEL staff and I often make speeches, presentations and publish papers on topics related to online learning - if you are really bored you can find those in my vitae.
I look forward to our semester together!

This is a sample response. It is in this mode that students would place their responses. If they exceed the 2,000 character limit, they would simply open up another comment.
