SCENARIOS & SKILLS TRAINING MATRIX
FOR FACULTY INTENDING TO TEACH ONLINE USING WEBCT Author’s
Note: This matrix is similar to the one used in the WebCT 3.6 Getting

Communications, June 18, 2001. It may enable a smoother transition for
faculty when they commence training with us using WebCT specific scenarios
and tools because the same strategy for planning, assessing & training
is used. Feel free to make suggestions to gbcooper@cambrianc.on.ca
. This is a modified version of the matrix already in use. |
