Dipping into the online learning ocean one toe at a time

In 2005 I began to believe in the coming beast called online learning.  With that belief came modifications to my instructional practices and approaches.

I will take the audience briefly through why/how I evolved my instruction toward online learning, how that virtual environment is currently being used, and further developments underway.

My online learning environments will be introduced (in MOODLE) before introducing the audience to action research I am conducting that probes how best to introduce and scaffold secondary-level learners (as well as instructors) to online learning environments.
Audience:
High School (10-12)
Schedule for:
Room: C 104
Instructors: Ben Kim
Vancouver, BC

Physics instructor at Vancouver College for the past 9 years.  Graduated from UBC with a Masters in Educational Technology in 2007.

Cautiously feeling my way through teaching with technology with a slant towards online learning.  Created online courses which lead to Ministry-designated DL status for the school in 2008.  Will run school's first academic course (Online Physics 12) in 2009, following a pilot course offered in 2008 (Accelerated Online Physics).

This is my first conference presentation.
