Short description of the presentation

I have been teaching a 100% on-line Japanese course for almost 2 years. I think many of you are thinking about offering an on-line Japanese course. My presentation is about how different it is to teach an on-line course compared to a regular face to face course.

What is going to happen?

Satoru sensei's paper is at
