Subject: [Baren 15305] Remote Learning

Remote teaching has been practiced in Alaska longer than I can account for.
I know during the year my daughter was home schooling (1994) , they were
coming up with computer-based courses for the villages farther north.  Her
paper-based options included high school art.  I don't know what Alyeska
offers presently.

The University of Alaska's offerings on its smaller campuses are heavy in
"distance learning."   If anyone is truly interested, they might consult UA.
I consider myself fortunate not to have taken a remote art class.  I have
taken several "academic" classes remotely, and cannot recommend them.  They
did not include video, which may have made a difference, but were most
comparable to an oversized conference call where the pace dragged due to the
disjointed composition.  Not only are they tedious but they cost the student
more, as there is a "distance fee" tacked onto the regular tuition.  Their
computer lab classes are basically self-teaching with a lab assistant
available for questions.

I guess my question is why would anyone who didn't live remotely want to do
distance learning.  I feel a live instructor is a real treasure.

Bill,
It has been very interesting to read all the comments about teaching an
internet printmaking class. It occured to me that perhaps you might consider
combining several aids. The technical things such as rolling out the ink, or
mixing the rice paste with the pigment - whichever method you're teaching -
might be demonstrated on a video tape.It could be purchased  for very little
or included in the lab fee. The rest of the class could be more of the art
historical, elements of composition, etc., and prints could be sent to the
instructor for critique. I've found you have to see these critters in person
- - the web just doesn't give enuf info. But, the chat room critique would be
good for color, composition, etc.  I'm anxious to see what you do with this
and how it works out. -
Sharri

PS - Wanda - please note! I remembered to get rid of the rest of the digest
before pouncing on the send button :>)
