Online Education Options

For a while now, online education has been a good option for students who – for various reasons – can’t access on-the-ground education.  And although there are still examples of rudimentary online courses out there (think compliance training), both the technology and the pedagogy powering online learning have gotten considerably better over the last decade.  And now, fairly suddenly it seems, there are a growing number of cases where online education is actually outperforming its traditional classroom counterpart.  Evidence of student success and, indeed preference, for the online classroom is mounting – and this will serve widespread benefits for all of us.

Volunteers we need you.Our volunteer Parks and Spaces Chair Jorgelina Striedinger has been working very hard over the last 2 years to help with improvements for Gotham Way Park.
