Abstract
In order to design curriculum that is relevant, engaging, and meets the needs of professional associations in the field, there is a need to examine how fully online graduate programs in a College of Education balance theory with real-world practices. An interactive instructional style combined with meaningful assessment practices will allow faculty to better prepare students for the demands of twenty-first century teaching. This presentation will explore faculty-to-student and student-to-student interaction in an M.Ed. Reading Specialist program- including discussion boards, journals, blogs, announcements, email, individual/group work, and feedback on assignments- in order to create a framework for the design of successful online learning experiences.
