Don G. Langenhorst, Ed.D. Adjunct Professor for the Division of Graduate and Continuing Education was the first professor to meet Quality Matters Standards for his course Internet for 21st Century Teaching and Learning. “All teachers can improve their courses and that includes online teachers. The Quality Matters workshop and process support excellent teaching practice to the online environment. This includes developing the online classroom community to create a vibrant and engaging course for all learners. Equally as important is to create an online classroom structure that matches well defined learning objectives, instructional methods and resources with assessment techniques.” |
