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."
