New Models for Teaching Music History in the Online Age: Introduction and Session Abstract

The presentations of the American Musicological Society Pedagogy Study Group session on teaching music history in the online age held at the 2010 AMS meeting are collected with edited transcriptions of the questions and discussions in the session. Three major themes emerged from the session: the diversity of approaches to teaching with technology, the suggestion to introduce new technologies in small increments (rather than revising an entire class), and the transformation of the role of the professor in the online age.
