The readings are interconnected throughout the lessons, making it easy for me to understand the lesson completely. More interactive materials aside from discussion prompts are recommended.

Good start to understand what virtual/online teaching is along with its history, components and legal framework. This is not a course on techniques.

This is a relevant course especially at this time. I wish the course would be more diverse. Maybe have information on virtual schools outside the US

This introductory course does a nice job of going over the history of online learning/education along with explanations of the laws of education and how they relate to online learning.
