THE CHANGING ROLE OF THE INSTRUCTOR IN 100 INTERNET DELIVERED MANAGEMENT COURSES

摘要

Many business schools offer online courses and some use the World Wide Web as a supplement whereas some others use it as an alternative to scheduled class meetings in a physical location. Online teaching has not changed the basic rules of education; however, the tools used in teaching and required skills to teach have become more complicated. In particular, the nature of management courses makes it even more complex. The purpose of this paper is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the online medium and the skills online instructors need to develop in order to make the best use of the online medium in a management course.
