The Distance Education 101 site has been designed as both a quick reference guide and as a tutorial to help instructors develop quality online courses. While the easy to use guides were designed for instructors who are planning to create or convert existing courses to online asynchronous courses, experienced online instructors will find the site offers them a resource of:

• Best practices collected from professional online associations
• How online teaching differs from face to face courses
• Toolbox: Blackboard and Web 2.0 features that will enhance your course
• Key points from recent research

Developed by EE&O's instructional designers, these short and easy to read modules address new concepts and considerations for teaching online.
