Techno-teaching: The future of the classroom - Kari Pritchard, the Cord Weekly
As the use of technology becomes more prominent at Laurier, The Cord looks at whether it is an asset or a problem for learning in a university environment. In a world of ever-increasing scientific advancements, it can no longer be denied that we are a generation embracing technology.... And of course there are online learning tools such as distance education. Sandy Hughes, director of teaching support services, notes that online learning is constantly growing, on average about twelve or fifteen percent a year in enrolment. “Twenty years ago when I started here, about ninety percent of part-time students took distance ed. courses and about ten percent of them were full-time students, and now we’re almost eighty percent full-time students and the rest of the students would be part-time,” added Hughes.
