Missiology and the On-line Revolution: Best Practices and Pedagogical Possibilities

 

Many APM members are facing new opportunities and pressures to teach courses through on-line education. Given economic realities and institutional interests, what are the pedagogical opportunities for missiology online? What tools does missiology as a discipline bring to best practices in on-line education? What historic values and hard-won experience in our discipline will be challenged by new technologies and their hidden assumptions?  How might we move on-line missiological education beyond market solutions, towards deeper learning partnerships?
