DRAFT:
SUGGESTED 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 Started TutorialTechnical 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.
