Cui Bono? A Review of the Efficacy of Online Instruction
Mark Morton, LT3 Instructional Program Manager
What does research that has appeared in the last six years suggest
about the efficacy of using new technologies in the delivery of
university courses?
Can technologies such as online course environments (UW-ACE), learning
objects, blogs, podcasts, wikis, and so on improve learning outcomes,
retention rates, and student satisfaction?
The one-second answer is yes. For the one-hour answer, please attend
the session, or contact the presenter directly at
markmorton@LT3.uwaterloo.ca.
