Abstract

Technological constraints forced early designers of asynchronous online courses into developing innovative strategies to provide content and keep their students engaged. The fortuitous result was a student-centered focus, with an emphasis on regular interaction with the content via frequent reading and writing activities. Technological advancements now make possible easy packaging of traditional lectures for streaming delivery over the Internet. Indeed, such tools are being promoted to hesitant faculty as an effortless way to get their courses 'up' on the Web. In a peculiar way, these new capabilities may be encouraging a return to the much maligned teacher-centered methods that characterized higher education for most of the 20th century. Before jumping on the bandwagon, faculty considering greater involvement in online learning need to carefully reflect on how best to use the evolving technologies to promote and maintain student-centered, active learning.
