Yesterday I trekked up to John Jay College and took part in a panel discussion on the Virtual Classroom and assessing online instruction. The discussion was held at the CUNY – University Faculty Senate (UFS) Conference on Online Education.
There were breakout sessions on numerous topics dealing with the future direction of online education. The new Chancellor, James B. Milliken, who is a staunch advocate for expanding the range of offerings in online courses and degrees at CUNY, gave the opening remarks. The speakers presenting yesterday included some of CUNY’s most notable pioneers in the area of online instruction. I was honored to be asked to participate in the discussion.
The video above contains excerpts from the talk and runs about 10 minutes long. I posted the excerpts for those of you with short attention spans. However, the video of entire 45 minute discussion can be found below.
