Foil 12 Guidelines for Instructors

From Using TangoInterative in Distance Education Jackson State Miss. Training Workshop -- 16-17 August 99. by David Bernholdt, Nancy McCracken


1 It is important to practice the delivery of TANGO-based classes until you are comfortable with the tools and windows.
2 One of the biggest differences that you will experience in class is the lack of feedback from facial expressions of students.
3 Expect distance classes to move a little slower than local classes. There is more transition time and words must replace gestures and body language.
4 The audio quality typically used in TANGO is roughly telephone-quality sound, not broadcast quality. You should be careful to speak clearly and perhaps a little more slowly than with a face-to-face class.
5 At the moment, there is no pointer, so whenever you would point to a place on a slide, you must describe it in words instead.
