Principle Seven:  Good Practice Respects Diverse Talents and Ways of Learning

Many roads lead to learning. Different students bring different talents and styles to college. Brilliant students in a seminar might be all thumbs in a lab or studio; students rich in hands-on experience may not do so well with theory. Students need opportunities to show their talents and learn in ways that work for them. Then they can be pushed to learn in new ways that do not come so easily.

Use technology appropriately

  • Post audio and/or video recordings of lectures
  • Use graphics to supplement written information
  • Provide a dynamic, synchronous, interactive learning environment through chat and videoconferencing
  • Provide asynchronous interaction via OIS Forum and email discussion lists
  • Use online modules to enhance class material

 

Use effective teaching strategies to encourage active learning

  • Implement various teaching and learning strategies in the online environment
  • Vary the choice of ways students can complete assignment (i.e. PowerPoint presentation, Webquest, FAQ, traditional paper)

Address ADA compliance issues where necessary!!!!
