My one-question interview was:

My name is Monica Velosa and I am from Portugal, specifically Madeira Island. I am doing a Masters in Education e-Learning in the Open University (Universidade Aberta).
Currently, I am attending the discipline of Pedagogical Processes in Elearning, taught by Professor Morten Flate Paulsen. He proposed to his students the following activity:

"Make a one-question-interview with either an online teacher or an author of one of the articles in your annotated bibliography.
The question should be related to online teaching techniques, teacher workload or online assignments. "

Thus, I would be very pleased if you could ask the question I have considered to be pertinent.

Question:

We all live in a Society of Information and commmunication increasingly dominated by Technology, where the growth of individual knowledge is progressing at a crazy pace. Society is more and and more influenced by the outcome of the interaction of each of us with the world and with the new Technologies.

In this new society, it is essential to enhance and update the school, creating conditions for the stundents' success, consolidating the role of Information and Comunication Technology as a key resource for learning and teaching in this new era.

An online teacher has the possibility to choose between a set of teaching techniques, for e.g. One-alone Techniques, One-to-one Techniques, One-to-many Techniques and Many-to-many Techniques, as mentioned in The Online Report on Pedagogical Techniques for Computer-Mediated Communication, writed by Morten Flate Paulsen.

Do you Know other that I have not mentioned here?

In your opinion is there a perfect teaching technique? Or is the joint use of some of them that is going to enhance education?

To what extent do you consider that the quality of an online course depends on the teaching technique that is used by the e-teacher?

Thank you for the time spent.
