Faculty Perspectives

"Use of the Connected Classroom has made the course accessible to student athletes while competing away from town, students caring for family members during the pandemic, and those with their own health risks or illness.  The ability to access the course when physically unable to be present has provided additional learning development and discussion between students and the instructor. Students have shared their appreciation for the accessibility and flexibility." Dr. Anna Talafuse, Assistant Professor, Marketing.

"We would not be able to teach the Hyflex courses without the new technology of sound and camera links that have been set up in the College of Business.  Onsite and online students can now hear and see everything which provides for presentation or discussion just as if everyone was in the classroom." A.J. Otjen, Professor, Marketing.
