ECU faculty are successfully teaching distance education classes with 75+ students! And they have lives beyond these classes.  So how are faculty managing these classes?  This summer we interviewed faculty teaching Many Students at a Distance to find out how they manage their classes; including: interaction, teaching tools and assessment.
