While we know that online education is beneficial, we also understand that there are many opportunities for improvement. This week we open the #IOLchat doors to a wide range of ideas you might have for distance education, educational technology, student and faculty support, and more.
Are there critical areas that aren't being addressed? What are the priorities for change? Join us and share your perspectives as online instructors, students, and administrators as we focus on possibilities for the future.
We are on our summer schedule featuring 30-minute weekly chats.
