Immersion in a Digital Pool: Training Prospective Online Instructors in Online Environments

Kelli Cargile Cook Utah State University

Abstract

This article argues that the online environment is optimal for teaching prospective instructors how to develop and implement online courses. To support this claim, the author draws on hypertext theories to define the online course archive as a constructive hypertext and to describe the work the course archive is able to do when used to instruct prospective online instructors. The claim is further supported through a quantitative and qualitative analysis of a course archive.
