  4. Challenges for Teachers to Conduct online Courses • Reluctant to prepare online multimedia course materials. • Lack of skills • Without strong incentive • No time • Don’t know how to do online instructional design • Not familiar with online teaching/learning environment • Not familiar with IT(Computer and/or Internet literacy)

  5. Think about the real situation in traditional classroom teaching • How do you teach in the traditional classroom? • What is the major activity which teachers are doing in the traditional classroom? • Why students sit in your class every week? • Will you write a textbook for your course by yourself? • Do you prepare handouts or slides for your classroom lecture?

  6. Easy Way to Conduct Online Courses • Two tools to facilitate teachers to do online teaching: • Wisdom Master and Media Master • Media Master: • Help teachers to do online explanation/commentary, the way is just similar to traditional classroom teaching. • Wisdom Master: • Support teachers to do instructional design and conduct online teaching/learning activities
