1. Open vs. limited/restricted access to live internet classes/webinars.
2. Recording classes/webinars for subsequent viewing.
3. Open vs. limited/restricted access to previously recorded internet classes/webinars.
4. Open vs. limited/restricted access to post class/webinar questions/answers.
5. Pre-requisites or not for participating in online classes/webinars -

Hands on you say? This may be the “fly in the ointment” and needs to be addressed. Hope I don’t step on anyone’s toes with this one (but it may be inevitable).
Testing? There are several ways to “check for understanding.” I’ll add this to my Web-based instruction segment. Be sure to keep an eye out for the syllabus I mentioned earlier in Noel’s reply.
Thanks Rick..keep those challenging issues coming!
Rick Morgan said:Would love to hear thoughts on how to conduct distance learning for hands on modalities. Tele-seminars, distance workshops etc. Trying to think of ways the industry professionals can get workshop type experiences to more remote parts of our country
Additionally, distance learning testing: is there a way to incorporate online proctoring of practical work as well as tests? -

There were LOTS of questions during the July 14th webinar on Technology in the Massage Classroom regarding whether or not state laws that govern massage education would accept lecture content presented in an online format.
Many attendees indicated that their law did not accept online learning as part of their basic education.
After looking into our state law (LA), I wonder if massage laws state this specifically or if this is just assumed.
For example, LA law states that “satisfactory completion of massage therapy studies in a 500 hour minimum supervised course of instruction.” That's different than no online learning. It states that the course must be supervised.
LA law further states that “in order to satisfactorily complete course requirements to be eligible to sit for the license examination, massage school students must attend at least 90 percent of class hours in each subject matter offered in the supervised course of instruction, as reflected by attendance records taken at the beginning of each class meeting.”
This may pose a challenge for some online learning courses. The course we use has a feature as part of the learning management system (LMS) where instructors can generate both attendance reports and activity reports. This may be acceptable as verification of attendance, depending on how the law is written in you state.
It’s worth looking into.

Hey Sandy,
Love you passion for the subject. I’m all about anything that engages students and helps them master concepts and skills.
The exams you administer over the internet, are those prepared by the author of the textbook (you in this case)?
Or can instructors create their own question banks to use later to generate their own exams? -

Sandy Fritz talks a lot about blending learning. Because of this and many other conversations going on right now about e-learning, thought I insert these great definitions from this great blog (thanks Jan, Judith, Whitney, and other contributors).
1. Augmented learning – the use of technology to extend a physical classroom. This may be as simple as incorporating web quests into student work, or the use of an online discussion forum. In a traditional university, the learners still meet regularly with faculty in classrooms. Traditional paper based courses could be augmented with online discussion forums or blogs.
2. Blended learning – technology partly replaces in-classroom learning. Part of the course is face-to-face and part is online. For example, the instructor may initiate a course with a series of classroom lectures, with the rest of the course held online. Resources such as video and podcasts could be added to existing materials.
3. Online learning – technology entirely replaces face-to-face classroom teaching or paper-based distance education. Fully online programs often employ a learning management system to assist designers and educators with managing student grades, interaction, and content delivery.
