Tom Woodward on 16 Feb 15"Some may consider online learning to be the anti-classroom. A rebellion against the chalkboard and the Blackboard in favor of virtual classrooms, avatars in sweater vests lecturing in a Charlie Brown monotone… I simply look at it as a different kind of team approach to learning. More opportunities for inputs. If anything, it makes the scholarship more rigorous. As both teachers and students, it is becoming increasingly difficult to hide behind airs of academia when the scholarship can be researched, published, evaluated and revised in a nano-second. It makes educational leadership even more important when the skills necessary to synthesize information both in person and on line are changing, and changing quickly."
