Life experiences are meant to be woven. Learning, working, finding success aren’t scheduled as they were in the past. Think of life as stew mixing ingredients so they taste better together than individually!

So proud to announce this article published by Inside Higher Ed today that colleague and friend Linda Russell and I wrote. The article is a 10-minute read and describes why it is important to design courses for both introverted and extroverted students to succeed in engaging courses that deliver significant learning. This is further work from our book, Designing Effective Teaching and Significant Learning.

Faculty members should identify ways to include significant learning experiences that champion both types of students, write Zala Fashant and Linda Russell.

The 12 Days of the Online Course Design Institute!
On the ninth day of course design, my colleague said to me….
“Communication, and multiple forms of communication, is essential to an effective online class. I also learned that everyone organizes their course shell a bit differently. I need to give students an orientation to the course shell so that they can navigate through it and get to what they need. I need to find ways to make students more accountable to do the readings.”
