Who is training the online teachers to teach online?

KnowledgeStar

Some of the worst 'teaching' I have ever tried to learn from has been online. The worst. And I'm not alone. Everyone I know has stories about an online class that was a total waste of time. Poorly organized content. Terrible to no graphics. So many bullet points that the screen ended up being 8pt Arial. A droning voice with no modulation or interest in the subject.

Many programs have this feature build in (i.e. Adobe Captivate and the new Articulate Storyline), but some prefer a third party program – and for years the standard bearer has been Camtasia Studio.

The Logical Blog by IconLogic

One of the problems with a multiple choice question you've added to a Captivate quiz is the all or nothing aspect of the question.
