This document discusses different techniques for online teaching according to the level of student interaction. It describes one-alone techniques where students learn on their own from online resources. One-to-one techniques involve communication between one student and teacher, such as learning contracts. One-to-many techniques have communication from one source to multiple people, like lectures. Many-to-many techniques feature interaction between many students, through debates, simulations, and discussion groups. Effective online teaching requires using technical resources and guidance from an instructor to support collaborative learning.

Framework of classes of pedagogical CMC techniquesONE-ALONE: characterized by retrieval of information from online resources and the fact that a student can perform the learning task without communication with the teacher or other students.ONE-TO-ONE: can be conducted via e-mail applicationsONE-TO-MANY: will typically be conducted via bulletin boards or distribution lists for e-mail.MANY-TO-MANY:can be organized within computer conferencing systems, bulletin board systems, or distribution lists for e-mail.

12. …individual participant’s success with online communication depends on effective use of the technical resources available, along with the guidance and leadership provided by a skilled instructor moderator and tempered by the learner’s own capabilities and preferences for collaborative, cooperative, active, and self-directed learning. (Fahy)
14. Many institutions support learning by taking full advantage of the emerging technologies. Web 2.0 tools are a facilitator element of online teaching for they provide “both the content of learning, and the tools to promote learning itself.” (Bawden et al.)
