I have just completed the course on Active Learning Strategies. This was an informative course not only for enhancing one's teaching style but also for increasing student's performance. We are living in an age where education must be "student centered". By living in an technological age, we must empower students to become active participants in their quest for knowledge.

The material in the course actually apply to ground campuses as well.

This course is very helpful in evaluatiing student performance.

Great review course and foundation course for the subject matter.

I am so glad that I took the course on retention. I have decided to continue the reinforcement strategies that were pointed out in this course that I am already doing. It was nice to see that I have an understanding of my place in the classroom when it comes to keeping my students involved in the learning process. Retention and helping a student reach their goals to why they entered school in the first place is such a strong and hard task. I will continue to apply all of the things I have learned in my future classes and… >>>

I did get some new ideas from this.

I just completed EL112 and found it to be very practical and valuable.  The information was well-organized and easy to digest.  I would recommend this course to other faculty who find themselves challenged with work/life balance issues.

Lesson plans are so important to both yourself and the students. It allows for ease in the class room and gives the student what is expected of them and when. They have something to follow as they set goals to complete the class.

This was like a great refresher course, but i still learned some things i did not know.

I completed the EL 110 course and found it to be very informative and current.  With the fast paced changes of social media, I appreciated the attention to social media terminology and the presentation of the function and applications of the new innovations in online communications.  I also found the suggestions for incorporating social media as an extension of courses very helpful.  Integrating social media into online courses can assist in helping students to meet the terminal course outcomes.  Not only is this beneficial in helping students be successful in academic settings, but it aligns with students, who are presently involved with social media. … >>>

I LOVED THIS COURSE!  I TRY TO ENCOURAGE SO MANY DIFFERENT ACTIVE PARTICIPATION SKILLS WITH MY STUDENTS.  THIS COURSE REALLY HELPS IDENTIFY AND OUTLINE DIFFERENT WAYS TO ENCOURAGE STUDENT PARTICIPATION AND DIFFERENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS INVOLVED IN CHANGING THE " LECTURE" FORM OF GIVING INFORMATION TO OUR STUDENTS

The activity using spaghetti to represent muscle tissue is a brilliant.

I found this course informative. Tips on being more prepared the fist day of instruction are always helpful in my opinion.

Hello.  I learned a lot in EL109.  Rubrics are useful in enhancing learning.

Do you believe if used correctly the imformation provided will work?

This was a good course. I have veen teaching on line for over 10 years, and there were several things that I learned form this class.

All the things that I've learned from this course is amazing. Starting from curriculum development,courseand syllabus preparation are all vital to the success of teaching effectively. The first day approach to a new class was well designed and realistic. In conclusion, everything that were suggested as a guide in teaching are awesome. I can't ask for more.

I enjoyed the class. It summarize the information that I have learned over the past 10 years while teaching in an online environment. I do not think that I can say anymore.

I enjoyed the class on teaching medical terminology.  The games that were provided as examples seemed like fun ways to get students envolved.
