Online teaching requires educational teaching resources

Technology and Educational Teaching Resources

As technology continues to evolve, the number of tools and resources continues to increase. These tools are marketed as being able to do many things from creating simple web pages to full-blown educational websites with graphics and multimedia. But beware - these tools do not replace the skills required to produce good learning content. When users of these tools are not fully equipped with curriculum development skills and knowledge, the result is poor e-learning content and poor learning outcomes.

This page provides links to suitable education teaching resources for online teaching and distance education:

Free Professional Development

Annenberg Media uses media and telecommunications to advance excellent teaching in American schools. This mandate is carried out chiefly by the funding and broad distribution of educational video programs and other education learning resources with coordinated Web and print materials for the professional development of K-12 teachers. The result is a very useful free education teacher resource.

Video: College Teachers

Here's a video about teaching courses in education, such as counseling, curriculum, guidance, instruction, teacher education, and teaching English as a second language.

Use of Videos on the ODL Website

You will find quite a lot of videos on this site. They are rather small, so you may want to click on the "full screen" icon (if they have one). When you want to return to "normal screen" just click on the "escape" key.

Free Course

We recommend that students new to online learning take the Open University UK online course "Living with the internet: learning online".
