Introduction to Online and Hybrid Course Development and DeliveryGeorge Williams College
One of the most commonly heard phrases today is, “We’re all in this together.”From high-level leaders to local school board members to teen-agers offering service, this is the mantra of our time. This mantra makes visible what, untillately, has been invisible: community, the web of our interconnections, the safety net of caring that we extend to one another.(Wheatley 2009)
Online learning can be a lonely place! Collaborative activities can help
alleviate feelings of isolation. By learning together, students can
extend and deepen their learning experience.
