It also frequently reduces questions and email toinstructors.Technology can strengthen faculty interactions with all students, especially with shy studentswho are reluctant to ask questions or challenge the instructor directly. This may be done byplacing a more “distant” source of information and guidance for students. It is often easier todiscuss values and personal concerns in writing than orally, since inadvertent or ambiguousnonverbal signals are not so dominant. As the number

The goal was to have friendly and respectful classroomatmospheres where students engage actively in class discussion and collaborate with peers. Thefocus was to build basic skills in the following areas: ▪ Mathematics. The curriculum followed an incremental learning approach. It introduced the concepts of the tool-box and the master musician to improve problem-solving through practice and pattern recognition. The material included numbers, operations, fractions, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry concepts. ▪ Spanish. Activities focused on improving reading and writing skills, introducing students to the analytical thinking process. Dominican history

Learning Objectives and OutcomesDeveloping, formulating, and writing objectives is a key to the success of any education.Without clear objective, it is impossible to reach any goal in education. Use of objectives hasbecome commonplace in higher education. Higher education often uses instructional orbehavioral objectives in teaching and learning. In order to affirm the value of objectives it isimportant to incorporate objectives within the curriculum and specific units of study and makeconnections between objectives and learning outcomes.3,4Instructors often use a standard protocol to develop objectives for their students. Althoughobjectives are not difficult to write, the challenge is how to write instructional objectives forstudents that clearly

It has been shown that self-assessmentand instructor-assessment of in-class participation are often not in agreement [1], [5], [19].

learning is not only knowledgeacquisition or participation in a social community but also about knowledge creation as in thecase of project based learning. Similarly the new developments in electronic media are leading toenormous challenges for teachers in regards to the role digital devices can and should play in thelearning process. For some educators, the view is that technology should only be utilized as atool to help facilitate student understanding and mastery of the current curriculum. Whereas forother educators, technology is as fundamental to learning as reading and writing and thereforemust become an integral segment of the school curriculum. The paper also discusses new trendsand teaching methodologies to help improve the state of

Days are filled with math-intensive course work and team orientedprojects. Bridge programs are typically offered at a deeply discounted cost (or none at all) to thestudent’s family.
