Really any of the current Tablet PC's out there today will work, just make sure it has an active digitizer for writing ink. Some only have touchscreens or only capacative touchscreens. I'm using a Fujitsu T4410 right now, but any of the other Fujitsu LifeBook tablets with the active digitizer would work. The HP TouchSmart tm2 is pretty inexpensive that some professors here use, and I used to use a Lenovo X series tablet that I also liked.Post by Kenrick

Your description of using your tablet PC in class sounds exactly like what I am looking for! I'm not very familiar with tablet PCs. Which one do you have? Are there particular features I should look for if I want to use a tablet in the way you describe?Post by Bonnie MacKellar

HyperOffice (http://www.hyperoffice.com) is another great tool for educators and students. It includes web conferencing, surveys, document sharing, calendars and other tools in a single solution. Students can have audio meetings, manage schedules, give simple tests and share assignments using these tools.Post by Suresh

I recently did some research into the popularity of online learning. It is estimated that in the next 5 years, there will be around 22 million students getting at least part of their college education online. It seems we are overcoming some of the stigma attached to online learning. However, dropout rates for online students are still high. I teach for 6 online universities and have done so for many years. Although I teach bachelor through doctoral level students, I really enjoy the newbies to online learning. I think people need to realize that online is the present and the future of learning. It is too bad that more help isn't available to first-time students. I have found many newbies who have very limited skills.Post by Diane

When I talk to people about online education, I remember the line from The Graduate. "I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Plastics." Now I want to say one word. Just one word. Online.Post by Tracy Greenwood
I think when Harvard and other prestigious schools threw their hat in to the ring, the credibility of online programs moved up immensely.
You are correct about online educators being social creatures. I love getting calls from my students and doing live office hours online.

You excite me! Am reviewing an online real estate course contract from one of the on-line companies I write continuing ed classes for... and I am going to take my CDEI from ARELLO over the holidays. I'm also a grad of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff and a past Foundation Board President. NAU is steeped in online learning...Post by Kathy Howe aka SedonaKathy
As President-Elect of the Real Estate Educators Association, online learning is one of our priorities. We are working with ARELLO and others to make the learning experience one that the learner passes on to others.
Thanks for the post. I'm in search of information and education... where are the educators of tomorrow?? Thanks for pointing me in a positive direction.
