I have wanted to design a virtual component for the EFL classes we give to all the students in the university that makes use of multimedia to expose students to authentic input, and constructive principles to make learning collaborative.
All undergraduate students need to take the TOEFL test and obtain 500 points to graduate. Our classes are large and mixed level, our teachers tend to be very traditional, and our students are often not motivated. Consequently, we are not reaching the goals we have set ourselves. Building the online component is a large project, but I believe that it will make a real impact on the quality of education and the outcomes for our students. I never have time to sit down and create the course, but now that I am in ETEC 565, I am really motivated to finally get started.

Dilip, I have so many of the same issues in my classes, especially the lack of motivation from the students. Yes, creating a course is a large undertaking. I hope you find the outcome well worth it. Your classmates will all be there to help and cheer you on.
