The Anderson and Elloumi chapter was also quite interesting. Being that I am an educator accustomed to traditional, face to face instruction, I am glad to see that the practice of education is a focus. While I believe that online education is an important, viable advancement in the field of education, we have to be sure that pedagogy is not set aside for the technology used to deliver instruction. The seven principles discussed in the chapter help the online educator to realize that the same pedagogical standards that are in place in face to face instruction also need to be present online.
