Their presentation focused on using a course management system like Blackboard or Moodle to provide the foundation and scaffolding for an online course.

Editor's Notes
- #6: A distance ed course could also be constructed from scratch by designing a web site to be a distance education course.Also, while this seminar is based around learning how to construct a distance ed course within a CMS, it does not discount the use of video conferencing techniques as part of a CMS based course. However, implementing video conferencing, and even simple in-house created videos has its problems (poor acting, poor screen control, jump cuts, student inclusion, etc)
- #7: Might add that there is also the video conference model but we are not discussing that today as it has its own unique characteristics.
- #8: These are practical objectives for the course designer/teacher. They do not concern themselves with the academic course objectives. That is something else. We use the identified objectives to facilitate academic instruction; to prevent instructor time being wasted in assisting students with CMS design problems.
