By Cassandra Hendry <\/em><\/p>\n

When business professor Jacques Maurice recorded his first \u2018virtual\u2019 lecture in 1999, students in his Certified Management Accountants of Ontario class would open their actual mailboxes every week and pull out . . . a VHS tape.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was crazy. But you have to understand that technology has changed so much. That was the peak of technology back then,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Since then, his recorded lectures have transformed into mailed-out DVDs and finally to streaming video, where Maurice can teach his Carleton students without ever stepping foot in a lecture hall.<\/p>\n

His own personal recording studio in his home comes loaded with gear. A video camera, microphone, professional lighting and a camera to capture documents he\u2019s working with make up Maurice\u2019s virtual lecture hall.<\/p>\n

For his online business courses, he\u2019ll record himself speaking and put that video in a small corner of the screen, with a large PowerPoint showing the current topic simultaneously.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a massive amount of time. It\u2019s scary how much time you have to put in at the beginning. But then the payoff comes later on as the course progresses,\u201d Maurice says.<\/p>\n

That payoff comes twofold for Maurice: he\u2019s able to teach anywhere as long as he has a strong Internet connection, while his students reap the benefits as well.<\/p>\n

He says students can learn from the comfort of their own spaces, which works well for the 10 students currently outside of Ottawa taking his course, including some in Japan. They\u2019re also able to focus more clearly on the material by pausing when they\u2019re tired or rewinding if they don\u2019t understand a term.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the kind of thing you can\u2019t do in class,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

For those who want more direct contact with their professor, Maurice holds a virtual tutorial every week, where he goes over accounting problems with his students tuning in from around the world.<\/p>\n

Currently, Maurice says he\u2019s getting the best results ever since moving his Carleton classes online two years ago. Each class comes with tweaks and changes, but he predicts by January he\u2019ll be exactly where he wants to be.<\/p>\n

Maurice says he hopes more professors embrace the changing technologies and join him online. Though not every class can be formatted for a virtual experience, he says, there are a lot that can be.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe momentum hasn\u2019t occurred yet. I\u2019m still the only one in this faculty who is teaching online. But maybe one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instructors who are interested in online teaching can take advantage of the EDC\u2019s Certificate in Blended and Online Teaching. The 10-session program will give participants the chance to develop a manageable plan for designing an online course and create an online module for an upcoming course.<\/p>\n
