Phyllis, I think that MD were some of the first adopters of this technology. Renee Shaffer
Phyllis, So glad that you are helpful and accommodating of students needs. Thanks. Renee Shaffer
Adel , Very good point. I worry about that myself as I see their accountability dwindling in certain areas. Renee Shaffer
Adel , Certainly. In addition the level and amount of remedial students changes from term to term, so I never really know how I am going to "slow everything down" from one term to the next. Renee Shaffer
Adel , I agree with you that it is indeed difficult to do hands on practice in this environment. Renee Shaffer
Adel , I am too a proponent of the face to face learning environment and it takes some getting used to the new online environment. Renee Shaffer
