Course Introduction by Instructional Designer and Professor William (Bill) Pelz

The content of the text has been left intact, but the instructional design of the accompanying course documents is mine.  20 years of online teaching experience has gone into the design of the learning activities presented in this course.  The foundation of my methodology is best described as technoheutagogy – technology enhanced learner determined learning.  To the extent possible, the learner selects the focus, depth, and pace of learning by creating her/his personalized learning path through the content. I encourage you to explore the material in the Course Information section which follows the final textbook chapter, and if you have an interest in going further into this approach please visit my website: http://www.technoheutagogy.com.
