The idea is to study and research the impact of technology on the teaching and learning process in grades K-12. Well now you can earn a bachelor's degree without ever having to leave the comfort of your home. Beginning in August 2000, David N. Myers College in Cleveland will let students take all of their classes in order to earn a four-year Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree. According to a press release, Myers will offer 64 courses online, putting it among a select few colleges in the country to utilize the Internet so thoroughly. Another institute will be offered next summer.
Every child is unique.
Our program provides teachers with the skil to meet each individual child's needs and to take those skills back to their classrooms to share with the students and their fellow teachers. In addition, plans call for assigning a mentor to each institute participant to assess them as they apply skills learned at the institute. Faculty will be able to deliver a wide-range of course materials to students including syllabus information, power point presentations and a host of other activities via an Internet connection. WebCT, based in Peabody, Mass., represents a single, easily supported platform for Web course development and delivery that works across the campus and across the curriculum. In a web-based collaborative setting, students will be able to work together from completely different locations and settings.
