Hi Dottie,

Not familiar with the D....thing, but have taught several classes online. The
labor involved is far greater than going to class on campus. Problem is, the
administrative folks (at least where I m) think it is easier to teach online,
simply becuase you needn't be on campus. But, what I have found is that Ihave to
be "on" all the time, or I fall behind.

I do think there is great potential in teaching online. For one thing, it
seems that bonding among students is far greater than it is when classes are
held on campus. Even though everyone may not be able to put a face to the
names, everyone seems to get to know one another better.

If you can get the credit hrs to teach without it impinging on your scholarship
or personal time, I think it is worth it. In particular, classes like ethics
are well suited to online discussion.

Good luck!
Peace, Love, & Light,
