In most of his classes, including TCH COM 6450 International Technical Communication (pictured above), Dr. Malone meets with his students online in a Zoom classroom. He taught his first completely online, asynchronous course in 1998, using email, a website, and posting forms driven by homemade Perl scripts on a web server in his office. He has been teaching online synchronous courses since 2011, using first Wimba, then Adobe Connect, and now Zoom.
