The Top Ten Reasons
NOT to teach a Distance Learning Class
Joseph Ugoretz
Director of Technology and Learning
Macaulay Honors College
“Students don’t really learn in those classes”
“I like to have more contact with my students. I need to see their faces and look in their eyes.”
“Don’t those classes take a lot of time?”
“I don’t know how to set up that kind of class.”
“I’m not very good with computers.”
“What about intellectual property? I don’t want my lectures to belong to someone else!”
“I don’t want to be replaced by a machine!”
“What about the digital divide? Most of our students don’t even have computers at home.”
“My course depends on discussion and interaction, and of course you can’t have that online.”
“I just don’t think it’s right for me.”
