Electronic Pedagogical Practice: The Art and Science of Teaching and Learning On-Line

The author’s experience in designing and teaching an introduction to educational psychology course on-line to 23 undergraduate education majors is discussed in this paper. Due to the curricular content of this course (i.e., the psychology of teaching and learning), critical issues about the similarities and differences of teaching and learning within traditional classrooms and electronic environments can be explored from two perspectives: the teacher’s and the students’. Personal experience, case study, student comments, course surveys and evaluations will be utilized to highlight the relationship between course curriculum and goals, pedagogy, and student learning in this paper.
