ADVANCEMENTS IN TEL8 TEACHING AND COMMUNICATION VIA WEB-BASED TECHNOLOGY
The principal investigators of this project addressed many aspects of distance learning in a recently taught TEL8 course on bridge engineering. Their efforts are outlined in this report with respect to this course. The fruit of their effort is a better and more technologically advanced method of coupling TEL8 courses with the use of world-web technology. Instructor evaluations indicate that the on-line forum was particularly effective and should be used in the future. The development of on-line courses in the manner described requires a significant effort -- much more than a traditional course. Appropriate compensation, teaching schedules, and recognition should be considered in the long term for the TEL8 system to remain a viable education media for college classes. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find instructors willing to dedicate the time necessary to make online courses the best that they can be.
