How do they learn? How can you adapt your classroom style and engage the learners in an effective online environment? How can you structure web course materials to take advantage of these differences in learning? Let’s discuss our teaching styles or teaching goals and how we think technology may help you augment, change, rethink, or otherwise alter your teaching philosophies.
