Good Morning!

As a reminder the 25% completion deadline is fast approaching. It is Monday, September 1st which is only one week away! Offices are closed on Monday, September 1st so I will begin to go into your courses on Tuesday, September 2nd. If you have any concerns about meeting that deadline please let me know.

I want to remind all of you that here at Globe Education Network all of our employees can subscribe to Online Classroom for free.

There is a new issue that just came out today and it contains an article about synchronous learning. Here at Globe Education Network we typically design our courses as being asynchronous, but try to work in synchronous learning through instructor office hours. However, a great way to work in a simulated version of synchronous learning is to provide students with audio lectures. Please let me know if you have an interest in adding audio lectures to your course and I would be happy to help you with that process! We have gotten great feedback from students about the benefits that audio lectures provide them. They enjoy listening to the content to get the material in a different fashion.

Have a great week!

Amy
