What Faculty Are Saying
"I have found online teaching to be very convenient for me and my students because it allows the freedom to work according to our own schedules. But especially important to me as an educator, is the power of on-line discussions. Unlike classrooms, everyone gets to participate and the participation is often better informed by the ability to think through a response, and students can carry on a thread of discussion without worrying about the clock or shutting other students out." Richard Siegal, Lowell Campus
