Can’t be beat!
Top podcast plus coffee! It’s a winner
Thank you from Lakewood U.
Thank you Tom & Kelvin for continuing the conversation of how best to deliver online education. I’ve shared this podcast with my colleagues and we talk about topics frequently. It’s good to know that our challenges and successes are similar to those of colleagues everywhere.
One of the very best podcasts about online learning (with an emphasis on learning)
The hosts enjoy digging into the concepts and mechanics of online learning. They've had some excellent guests, most recently Dr. Shawna Dark, Chief Academic Technology Officer, who was interviewed about this new CATO role at Berkeley and about how people might prepare themselves to become CATOs at other institutions.
