- Instructional Strategies for Online Courses "Because learners have different learning styles or
a combination of styles, online educators should design activities that address their modes of
learning in order to provide significant experiences for each class participant."- Schools, Skills and Scaffolding on the Web "In the excitement of bringing the Internet into our
classrooms, we sometimes forget to prepare our learners appropriately."- Creating Powerful Online Courses Using Multiple Instructional Strategies "Because two learners
may participate in the same class, but have different learning experiences (Tyler, 1949), online
educators must organize situations that address the various facets of learning in order to provide
significant experiences for each class participant."- Active & Cooperative Learning in the College A listing and description of very specific activities
that could be adapted for online learning.- Web-Enhanced Learning Environment Strategies for Classroom Teachers "This paper presents
a model for conceptualizing the components of the WWW and merges resources with six sound
pedagogical classroom practices. Six Web-enhanced learning environment strategies result from
this merger."- Learning Styles and Experiential Learning "Educational research shows that people have different
learning styles or preferences, and that adults learn most effectively when the learning has an
experiential component."
