New listserv for distance learning pedagogy discussion
This Listserv is for the use of faculty and staff at URI, RIC, and CCRI to discuss pedagogy issues in distance education. Please note that this is not for technical questions, particularly since we do not use the same technology at the three campuses. We are hoping that faculty and staff from the three colleges will be able to share ideas, articles, and resources and respond to each others' concerns and observations regarding.
Please consider joining this Listserv: http://listserv.uri.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=teachingonline&A=1
