In the connected era, students will be most successful after college if they have a digital presence that promotes their unique abilities and strengths. Online instructors are poised to play a powerful role in the development of our students’ digital footprint. Students aspire to be like their instructors who actively model safe and professional use of digital tools and resources. Effective online teachers understand that engaging students in the web is an important part of becoming digitally literate and, as such, learning is not tied to a textbook.

Where I was.

Where I am.
Currently, I am utilizing free resources from Open Education Resources (OER) that students can access online without any financial burden. Online homework assignments administered through MyOpenMath (MOM), which is also free, provides feeback to students on their performance.

Where I'm headed.
Students will be making online presentations of their learning and further their knowledge through online question banks generated by them. Students will be given opportunity to create non-disposable assignments which make them own their material in Wikepedia or Wikiversity.
