Many educational activities will take place April 15-21 to bring attention to Distance Learning Week at Northwest as well as throughout Missouri.
Distance learning gives individuals more opportunities to get an education.
Those who have jobs, disabilities or family responsibilities that make it difficult to travel to campus can learn at convenient times and places. In the workplace today, it is vital that education be as accessible as possible. One of the activities planned for the week is a two-hour workshop and demonstration featuring two instructors from St. Louis. Educators will be introduced to ways to enrich the curriculum through interactive voice and video connections. Topics covered during the workshop, which begins at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18, in the McKemy Classroom and Conference Room, include organizing videoconferencing, successful teamwork and how to take a class on a virtual field trip.
