Close to 30 years ago, I designed the first SUNY Learning Network online course template.We called it a “template” because, as I explained to new online faculty at the time, calling it “Fred,” just didn’t have enough contextual detail to make sense. 🙂
It may be that you equate asynchronous online teaching and learning (rich, engaging, interactive cohorts of learners guided by a “present” instructor) with self-paced online learning (individual, no interaction, no instructor presence, summative feedback that may or may not be automated, or timely) – that is an assumption to check, and NOT necessarily the case.
