I learned that it is important to continuously work towards the goal of integrating new technology.

I have learned that there are many ways to keep students engaged in the learning process.

Interventions are important. The faculty member should set realistic boundaries when assisting students who are struggling.

I have learned that there are multiple factors that impact attrition.

Retention is the responsibility of the entire campus rather than one specific department.

It is important to find ways to motivate students. Students also benefit from instructors that understand the challenges they face in attaining an education.

This section has great information on how to engage students in the learning process.

I enjoyed the discussion of potential ways to engage students in the classroom setting. Adult learners have competing priorities and need engaging content.

It is important to understand that our student population is diverse. While students have diverse needs, they all need to have the same baseline understanding of the material at the end of class.

We may have individual learning styles that we prefer, but we need to ensure we are meeting our students learning styles in lecture.
