LESSONS LEARNED: ONLINE TEACHING ADVENTURES AND MISADVENTURES

Abstract

This study provides practical " nuts and bolts " advice on developing and teaching a new online course for first-time online instructors. The advice is predominantly based on the observations and experiences of two instructors who developed and taught online courses for the first time on the " maiden voyage " of a newly established online MBA program and subsequent online teaching experiences. The lessons learned the " hard way " are discussed so instructors who are developing and teaching online courses for the first time within the context of a new program can avoid some " learning curve " problems.
