WAOE Article Review--Erin Fountain

The World Association for Online Education (WAOE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to educators and their usage of programs in online education. The website states that: "The specific purposes for which WAOE is organized are to develop, support, and evaluate computer-assisted online education as a professional discipline, based upon sound pedagogical principles and humanistic ethics, and the voluntary efforts of educators so involved throughout the world (WAOE)."


On the website: http://www.waoe.org/, they have each one of their objectives listed. The objectives start with (a) and end in the letter (v). Basically, WAOE is an excellent vehicle for the promotion, production and review of online learning products. They are all for the online learning world, and are working to make it more accessible, usable, and valuable to both students and educators.

  1. Sounds like they have a lot of objectives, which is a good thing, I guess. :) All in all, it sounds like a good website for teachers to use to determine the best technology products that will assist them in their teaching. Glad they are working towards making online learning more accessible.
