Introduction
Welcome to the world of virtual learning with ACCESS. Quality instruction is an important part of providing high quality learning to our students. We challenge our ACCESS teachers to enrich and deliver our courses to a diverse and widespread student population. In this lesson, we will look at quality online instruction and compare it to to face-to-face instruction.
Following successful completion of this lesson, students will be able to...
