The changing vision of an e-teacher: a retrospective

This paper describes the evolution of a teacher that imparted eleven online courses over a seven year period. Courses were set up with a HTML editor (Front Page) and a LMS system (Moodle), three courses were given to students of two different postgraduate programs and eight on a graduate program. The analysis was based in the teaching practices and the types of media and tools used in each course, the level of interaction with students and the institutional awareness of on-line learning while those courses were imparted. A comparison was made between the changing vision of the teacher and the perceptions of students on each course to try to find a connection between these two and for comparing the increasing level of complexity of each course as the teacher gained confidence and experience imparting these courses in this modality.
