http://www.afmte.org/ Online education is increasing in popularity in massage education, for both entry-level and continuing education. Yet, its emergence is so recent that very few teachers are trained in this teaching methodology. As many have discovered already, online teaching is more complex than throwing pdf files or videos onto the web and requires a much different skill set than the classroom setting. The massage profession runs the risk of declining educational integrity by downplaying the importance of quality teaching and testing protocols for online courses. In this presentation Whitney explores the key roles and skills of the online educator, and offers tips on how to create an excellent learning experience for today’s student.
