THE LINCOTOWER EXPERIENCE

"The course has given me a realistic, as well as helpful, orientation to online learning. I have discovered strategies, contacts, and resources that didn't exist for me just a few weeks ago."

"I greatly enjoyed taking STOL I. I got to experience what it is like to be in an entirely online class…Group work, synchronous discussions, asynchronous activities all contributed to my learning."

"I have been enlightened by what this class had to offer…Students' needs are met through student-to-student engagement and collaboration, teacher contact, and use of the 21st Century Skills."
