Good Practice develops reciprocity and cooperation among students. Collaboration, learning communities and work groups are now extended by tools like listservs and newsgroups, such interactions are not limited to classmates in the same room, but may in fact cross large distances to give access to a world wide community. Asynchronous communications compensates for time zones and busy schedules. Good Practice uses active learning techniques. Learning is not a spectator sport.
Students require learning to be engaging and hands on.
Technology should allow the student to be the driving force, to learn by doing, much like the apprenticeship programs of yesterday. Good Practice gives prompt feedback. Technology should allow today s faculty member to review and grade a student s performance in an instantaneous manner, like technology can. Record management can also be enhanced. Good Practice emphasizes time on task .
