The 2010 meta-analysis performed by the U.S. Department of Education [3] found that, on average, students inonline learning conditions performed modestly better than those receiving face-to-faceinstruction. Moreover, using the live interaction instruction possible with Zoom and BlackboardCollaborate could help address the Sloan-C quality elements including learning and costeffectiveness and institutional commitment, access, faculty and student satisfaction [4].IntroductionAlthough the successes and student

Nonetheless, a very criticalinsight is the discrepancy in the return on time investment between high- and low-GPA students.More specifically, we observed that the low-GPA students struggle academically not necessarilydue to a lack of effort but rather due to ineffective study habits and best practices.

relations theyrecede into the background of our work.But these governing texts have to be written, and are written by people in power. Campbell andGregor develop this idea:13 “Smith uses the notion of ruling as a way of understanding howpower is exercised in local settings to accomplish extra-local interests. Ruling takes places whenthe interests of those who rule dominate the actions of those in local settings.” (p. 36) So thetexts that coordinate and organize the work of people in a university were written by those more“central” to the university to coordinate the work of people on the edges – so, for example, auniversity senate might determine certain policies that govern the behavior of faculty (only asmall subset of whom are in the senate) or
