Collaborative Learning Community: Best Practices Manual
Click to ExpandDirections

This entry is a best practices manual on distance education that was developed by my collaborative learning community for the Teaching at a Distance course. There were eight of us on the team, and this was most definitely a team effort. We all worked hard to put forth a quality piece of work.

The Power Point presentation was also a group effort in that we each submitted material to include. However, its presentation and assembly was done beautifully by one member of our group, Barbara Sommers, who went above and beyond in producing an exceptional final product!
