Publisher Description

OVERVIEW This case narrative covers the process of training a visually-impaired instructor to create online materials, to learn the course-management software adopted at the faculty member's institution, and to teach a pedagogically-valid, successful online course. The author is the Coordinator for Instructional Technology and Distance Education Support at Westmoreland County Community College, a medium-sized two-year college in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The visually-disabled instructor is a member of the faculty at Westmoreland County Community College who volunteered to teach an online course in Labor Relations during the Fall 2001 academic term. The author would like to express his gratitude to the instructor for allowing the author to relate this narrative and to use potentially identifying information in this essay.
