Gina: From an early posting of yours: "New techniques and new technologies enable us to teach science in exciting new ways. Or do they? Can science be taught at a distance?"

In science, what are new techniques?

What are new technologies? (that we wouldn't use in Communications, for example)

Is the general opinion that science can be taught at a distance? What are the concerns?

Hello:

If one accepts the Wikipedia definition (and as a non-science person it does not sound unreasonable), one has to ask if the same definition can be applied to humanities as well.

Hello:

Chris Horgan, Curriculum Co-ordinator, Centre for Academic Learner Services (aka CALS), SAIT Polytechnic.

I don't personally have a science background (I'm an English major), but we deliver a number of science courses F2F/blended and fully on-line and so the more I know about options around using technology to deliver science-related curriculum, the more useful I can be in my joint roles of curriculum co-ordinator/project manager and the more useful my conversations will be with both SMEs and Instructional Designers.

I expect to lurk most of the time.

I look forward to following an interesting discussion.

Cheers, Chris
