Melding Sound Learning Theory and Practices
O'Banion, Terry
Community College Journal, v76 n2 p8-10 Oct-Nov 2005
Online learning has become a well-respected alternative to traditional bricks and mortar. Almost every institution of higher education in the United States, and many secondary educational institutions, feature opportunities for students to take courses, if not earn an entire degree, online. Community colleges have been at the forefront of this seminal change in delivery, innovating and exploring new ways to extend their access mission to more and more students. This article explores how Ann Beheler, a Walden University student and dean of the School of Engineering and Emerging Technologies at Collin County Community College, uses the remote synchronous interactive (RSI) technology to provide effective learning for students.
