Description: This course examines the underlying principles that guide effective teaching in an age when everyone, particularly the students we teach, uses technology. Teachers, instructors, and faculty are facing unprecedented changes, including larger classes, more diverse student populations, demands from government and employers for more accountability, and the development of graduates who are workforce-ready.
