3. Why Physics Courses Are Seldom Offered Online
Doubts that
Uncertainty about Difficulty moving Doubts that off-
students can
how to offer a outside the box of campus lab work
independently

4. Why Now Is the Time for Online Physics Course
Substantial declines in the
cost of computer
technology and
Increasing time, costs, corresponding increases
and inconvenience in computer ownership The continuing rise in
associated with computer literacy
commuting to a college among the general
campus population
Dramatic declines in
states’ and institutions’
financial recourses to The coming of age of
stock, staff, and highly computer-
maintain undergraduate savvy generations
laboratory facilities
Continuous
improvements in the
quality, features, and Improvement in and
user-friendliness of online global dissemination of
learning-management access to high-speed
systems for both broad band technology
instructors and students
5. In the following slides, I am going to show how I
will conduct my On-Line physics teaching and
how I compare my On-Line physics teaching
with my In-Class physics teaching.

Student Interaction by Using a Discussion Board- Three kinds of
discussion boards. One is for lecture, the second is for lab, and the
third is for personal interaction with the instructor.

31. My Future Outlook For an Online
Physics Course
The road of learning different teaching
techniques can continue for ever and ever.
And my future outlook is to design a physics
textbook that has many digital tools such as
animations and summaries that can be
downloaded onto an MP3 player, iPod, and
iPhone audio or video.
