Summary:

This course will provide basic training for IHS staff who offer continuing dental education courses in a distance education [DE] format. The majority of IHS continuing education courses are taught by clinical staff. Many courses have been taught over long period, and ongoing evaluation and modifications have made most of these courses effective. Therefore IHS has a strong cadre of instructors with excellent content knowledge and willingness to teach courses. However, few of these instructors have experience in distance teaching. The purpose of this course is to give IHS staff the tools needed to teach CDE in distance or blended formats.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this course participants will be able to:


  • Discuss the role of cognitive learning theories in distance education

  • Discuss the benefits of various teaching tools in classroom and distance education

  • Facilitate learning in a distance education course
