Well, I think it would be ideal for a Criminal Justice Program. Handouts and Power Point Presentations would be excellent to inform students from this program. I feel if your posting general information that requires knowledege about Laws, Corrections and Police Service it would be ideal. Some applications in criminal justice require hands activity and knowledege, but the information you receive the programs we have would be a great for getting that information out to students. Like all technology you will have concerns, because some people really enjoy the physical part of actually been in the classroom. You really see a shift of people studying online with services that we participate in on every Monday evening. I think my major concern for myself would be accountablity making sure I understand the information and flow of the information process. I enjoy the technology we use it's very convient and once you become familiar to the technology it's like been in the classroom. I feel everyone repects the new process and when I talk to other people who took NTI they feel we are blessed to have such a structure for our program.

I think you made a very good point in that this type of technology would be good for teaching laws, processes, and other procedures related to the criminal justice field. Maybe it would be good to use this type of method along with requiring students to meet? This would allow for skills to be assessed and also for students to still get some one on one isntruction from an instructor. The combintation of the two, I think, would be succesful and enjoyable at the same time. I also agree that this type of instruction would require a lot of preparation and knowledge on behalf of the instructor, but don't we prepare and know our fields already? Maybe we are headed in this direction, who knows?; February 8, 2009 at 6:48:00 PM EST
