Podcast: 6 Qualities of a Good Online Instructor

My Brother J. Clark and I recently recorded a podcast discussion about what it takes to be a good online instructor. We created a list of 6 qualities that we believe good instructors embody. A good online instructor
  1. is comfortable with technology.
  2.  clearly articulates expectations for students.
  3.  guides learners through student-led activities.
  4.  responds to students’ needs in a timely way.
  5.  manages time efficiently.
  6.  is willing to do it all over again.

IDPT Instructional Design Graduate Assistantship Opportunity

I would like to announce a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in pursuing a Masters Degree in Instructional Design and Performance Technology. Franklin is offering a graduate assistant position to individuals interested in this field who currently hold a bachelor's degree. It is housed within the College of Arts Sciences and Technology, and you would work directly with me, as well as some of the instructional design faculty here at Franklin and other faculty and staff within the college.

Applicants will be required to work on campus for around 19 hours a week with pay, and all graduate tuition will be paid for through the graduate assistantship. This is a great way to earn a quality Masters Degree and gain excellent working experience without incurring debt for tuition payments.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in this great opportunity. See the links below to learn more.
