The Integration of IT in Teacher Education Programs: The Case of Educational Websites [PDF} This paper argues for the construction of 'Coherent Websites' in schools (websites that have a coherent educational function, that use the technology of website construction to integrate aspects of the curriculum, and that encourage teachers and students to collaborate), and it argues that teacher education programs need to teach pre-service teachers how to construct coherent websites and how to think about the relationship between technology and education in ways that go beyond jumping on the latest bandwagon of technological tools.

Teaching in an Online Learning Context Over the last ten years or so Terry Anderson has contributed a great deal to our understanding of the mechanics of online learning. He has always, in my view, fostered the transfer of traditional teaching to the online environment, drawing this out (especially in his work with Walter Archer) as a process of creating 'presence' online. This paper is more a summary of this approach than anything, but a clear and accessible summary. In the first part of the paper Anderson discusses the role of discourse and the blending of two opposing views of e-learning: synchronous participation in ( From OLDaily on February 23, 2004 at 6:45 p.m..

Copyright Issues in Online Courses: A Moment in Time This is a disappointing paper that, while attempting to represent copyright in a Canadian perspective, draws a great deal on international sources, including U.S. court rulings.

It is ditressing to see a paper recommend that a permission form be completed merely to create a link to an online resource, a complete omission of Creative commons and other automatic permissions, no mention whatsoever of open access publishing (ironic, considering the source), and a From OLDaily on February 23, 2004 at 6:45 p.m..

Toward a Theory of Online Learning Drawing from contemporary and authoritative sources, Anderson looks at four major theoretical perspectives: learner (or learning) centered, knowledge centered, assessment centered, community centered learning. He then looks (correctly) at online learning as having as one of its central values increased access to learning. From this perspective, he looks at interaction and its relation to access. As we see below, interaction forms the heart of Anderson's theoretical perspective and forms the basis for what he describes as online presence.
