Scholarship of Teaching: Distance Teaching and Learning Conference


This blog is featured as an illustration within a poster session at the 25th Annual Conference on Distance Teaching and Learning, August 4-7, 2009, in Madison, Wisconsin. Visit the site to appreciate the wide range and quality of this great conference.

The poster session presents the experience of my faculty exchange through description, analysis, and visuals. While the framework of the blog was teaching, learning, culture, and fun, this presentation concentrates on reflection of the effect of the exchange on my teaching VSU students while in Hungary: Teaching at a FAR Distance. I will convey difficulties engendered by time and technology differences, sense of connection with my VSU students, parallel communications and interaction with colleagues, family, friends, and students, and observations of reactions of Hungarian students and faculty in regard to my distance teaching practices.
