Are you ready to master the digital classroom? Learning technology gives instructors the power to help students not only push through and understand difficult concepts, but also take their time to find new passions in unfamiliar material.
Predictably, good teaching is not as simple as putting assigned readings and comprehension quizzes in a LMS.
