Abstract

The current American education system is vastly different from the institutions of twenty years ago. The pervasive influence of technology is changing the way we teach, the way we conduct research, and the way we seek to provide increased educational opportunities to students from all walks of life. Many departments of Information Technology are beginning to develop programs to offer courses using on-line or web-based delivery, i.e. via the "virtual classroom". In this paper, we offer a list of "do's and don'ts" that provide background and insight into the decisions involved with creating a virtual classroom and the activities associated with the development of an online Information Technology course. In conclusion, we present some of our observations concerning the impact of the online paradigm based on our own experience.
