Reminder for tonight's class on Online Learning in Theological Education

(Originally emailed on February 21)

When I created the syllabus, I inadvertently put the wrong URL for the Boston College C21 Online website. The correct URL is http://www.bc.edu/c21online. To prepare for the March 17 class, please go to this site and 1) watch the "demo course," 2) explore the mini-course list, and 3) explore "course info."

Also, to give an overview of the move to theological education at a distance,the syllabus lists some required readings from the Association of Theologicical Schools: Association of Theological Schools, Theological Education, Vol 41, No 1, 2007, (SEE http://www.ats.edu/projects/TE41-1Articles.asp) especially:
* Theological Reflection, Theology and Technology: When Baby Boomer Theologians Teach Generations X & Y by Edward Foley;
* Implications of a Digital Age for Theological Education by William J. Hook;
* Not Just One More Good Idea: A Reflection on the Integration of Digital Technology in Theological Education by Jan Viktora and
* A New Tool or a New Way of Doing Theological Education? by Steve Delamarter

There are also recommended readings:
* Association of Theological Schools, Theological Education, Vol 36, No 1, 1999 and Vol 42, No 2, 2007
* Mary Hess, Engaging Technology in Theological Education, Rowman & Littlefield, 2005.

Please read as much as you can. Remember, posts are due as usual by Sat noon (your reflections on your blog) and Sun evening (your comments to your peers).
